I'm referencing this article: https://torrentfreak.com/film-companies-seek-torrenting-history-related-to-redditor-240220/

AFAIK they would get the info "which user said what". The source would be what ever instance you are from tho, not your own ip. So the owner of a instance knows as much as everyone else.

Also, the elephant in the remains in the room: discussing piracy is not piracy.

Saying "I pirated XYZ", though, is admitting to a criminal act, and can be used in court if linked strongly to a person through their account information and IP address.
