I thought this was already decided by a court in autumn 2023. Is this an appeal?
As far as I understand it, the studios are trying a different angle: They are not suing Reddit this time, but an ISP and want Reddit to provide the data of costumers of that ISP.
Stupid question: What's the point behind this? Is this actually financially viable for a company in the long run? Was this an attempt to get Reddit to crack down on those subs?
Isn't this always a fight against windmills? i.e., you can't fight a symptom without addressing the market as a whole?
