The best that Reddit could (typically) do is claim ignorance, but in this case it's obvious (through what they've said in their blog post, as well as the assumption that they would notice such a fast-growing traffic source) that they knew full well what was going on and chose to do nothing. I honestly hope that Reddit gets sued for this, and loses, badly. I love the site for the communities I'm a part of, but as long as they have this attitude of 'I didn't do it, so it's not my problem', things are only going to get worse.
