While we can be pretty confident that Reddit has its own motivations (i.e. self-interest) for fighting these lawsuits, this is still a good news story for pirates.

Firms wanted seven years' worth of IP address logs

I doubt - or hope they don't - Reddit stores them for that long?

It's data that could have value, so I doubt they don't store it. I think the movie studios didn't offer enough. Or Reddit thought it was too damaging for this particular sale.

Reddit wasn't offered enough.

I always assumed this would happen, so had a second account. Which had a special email address both of which I only used via Tor and private brower mode.
