Court quashes subpoena for names of users who talked torrenting in 2011 thread.
Film companies lost another attempt to force Reddit to identify anonymous users who discussed piracy. A federal court on Saturday quashed a subpoena demanding users' names and other identifying details, agreeing with Reddit's argument that the film companies' demands violate the First Amendment.
I mean, they discussed pirating...there wasn't any objective evidence they actually did pirate material (but for real they more than likely had). Regardless....statute of limitations apply; this was from 2011. That ship has sailed, Arr!
Apparently the statute of limitations is 3 years for copyright infringement (source), I'm surprised it wasn't thrown out on that alone (but I'm not a lawyer)
