After successfully fending off three subpoenas from filmmakers seeking user data related to piracy discussions, Reddit is back in federal court. The company is now requesting over $55,000 in legal compensation, suggesting that these repeated requests amount to an “anti-piracy publicity campaign” that chills lawful speech by Reddit’s users.
Only 55k? Isn’t that peanuts for most companies?
I presume it’s based on their legal cost of the three previous cases.
I agree it’s very low in terms of cost of business, as legal cost, or seeking damages.
