Reddit must share IP addresses of piracy-discussing users, film studios say::Reddit says First Amendment rights protect it from having to disclose users’ info.

Here in Denmark, that would be actively illegal. I think the same is true for most of EU. It may be allowed in Cooperate America, but I doubt it’s required. But that would be for Americans to decide.
I invite you to read the truth of US politics. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC
False. At most, they should bring specific evidence of an actual crime to have authorities obtain a warrant. They can fuck all the way off til then.
If you read the article it states at the film studio wants the IP address is to prove that Frontier is not doing anything about people pirating on their ISP. They claim that they aren’t going after the individuals themselves. The headline is deceptively vague.
Well you probably couldn’t go after someone individually with that kind of information, realistically. Most consumer grade connections have dynamic IPs. So the IP of user posting to reddit isn’t actually uniquely identifying. Your ISP could match which customer had which IP at a specific point in time, but if point in time you’re tying the IP to is when a given user posted a discussion about pirating, that doesn’t actually correlate to actual pirate activity happening at that time.
