streaming piracy / torrent lawsuit

In an ongoing battle between ISPs, movie studios, and Reddit -- Reddit is trying to avoid sharing info about users (names, IP addresses, other contact info) who posted commentary related to illegal streaming

Both sides have a point. Reddit says that just talking about piracy should fall under protected speech, but the studios say that the conversations lead to piracy and the offenders who tell people how to pirate content need to be taken to court.

Illegal subscription services that steal films or TV shows bring in $2 billion a year in ads and their own subscriber fees. 

These streaming services have cost the economy an estimated $30b in annual revenue, and may have impacted 250,000 jobs.  Global impact is estimated to be $71b.

Users of the top US sites pay up to $10/month for access.
