Man, how bad do movie industry execs have to be to make us root for Reddit
Nah, fuck both. I’m not going to cheer for the lesser evil in a crowd.
Loving the upvotes on this Lemmy World, let’s make sure we apply it to political discussions as well!
So how would that work with Lemmy? If a company demands the IP of users?
Instance owners would have way, way fewer resources and almost definitely need to just capitulate. Assuming they even had the info to share, though.

With the federation does that also mean that the ip records are replicated? Because that would be a lot of parties that can be threatened, with only one required to give in…
I could be wrong, but I believe you only disclose your IP to your Lemmy instance.
Don’t browse lemmy with your naked IP. This isn’t the 90s. When using the Internet, wear a condom.
As long you don’t do the “known illegal” stuff you don’t need a VPN.
However if you upload copyrighted material a vpn is one of very many steps to ensure that the police won’t get you. A VPN alone does not provide any security. It delays at best the police
surely it costs more to fight this dogshit legal battle, both in money and PR, than to simply let enthusiasts watch your films. they’re already handsomely profiting, why do these fucking pigheaded hogs think it is their right, it is their duty to wring out every cent they can? fuck off.
Because as lawyers, the longer the battles, the more money they make.
As Chairman Mao used to say: punish one, educate 100. Same mindset.
Pirates will always find a way. These companies are just wasting time and money.
Use something like Mullvad for everything so that ip adresses don’t matter
Yup Mullvad FTW.

Just like having something to protect yourself if you go to a sketchy area, make sure you only visit Reddit from behind a VPN.
I don’t know if it was VPN or using uBo but the last time I tried viewing content on my Linux setup all I saw was the whoa there pardner page.
Reddit blocks VPNs on desktop…
