  You are perfectly right and thanks for the link. Rephrasing my question - which shouldn't have been about citizenship at all, rather I wonder what makes it relevant that the constitutional rights are being invoked here. As Reddit is an open site, users come from all over the world. Is that so the alleged crime has been committed on US "soil", aka Reddit as an American site or at least the server is hosted in the US? I don't even want to bring CDN's into this, haha.

    If the case is being heard in a US courtroom, the US constitution generally applies. There's some gray area re:'enemy combatants', but that's not relevant for a copyright case.

    Because this is a US court deciding if it has the power under the constitution to compel reddit to expose these commentators.
