What is even the crime here? "This person requested a torrent link" "This person posted a torrent link". What do they expect to charge these people with, even if they could track them down? It isn't like anyone is uploading torrents directly to reddit.
- jjeaff 4y agoI would assume they want the identities so they know who to investigate more closely. If you are commenting on a piracy sub-reddit, you are probably doing some torrenting.
- Gigachad 4y agoThese days they don’t even post links it’s more “has this content been posted?” “Yeah you can find it on <site name>” Which is why reddit doesn’t remove it because it’s so removed from the actual downloading.
- spookybones 4y agoOn that note, is it illegal (or does your service provider send you a warning) if you download a torrent link or does there have to be proof you downloaded the actual content of the link?
- hiccuphippo 4y agoThey are trying to frame the ISP for not doing anything against these people. And they want these people's info so they can testify against the ISP.
