While we can be pretty confident that Reddit has its own motivations (i.e. self-interest) for fighting these lawsuits, this is still a good news story for pirates.

A rough translation of a brazilian quote for you: "In a fight between these guys, I cheer for the fight".

How is it hard to root for the anonymity of people? This is pretty cut-and-dry.

You don't have to (and shouldn't) side with any for profit company

I'm glad Reddit won here because it sets a precedent that will protect less well-funded Lemmy instances.

Small exception for when two for profit companies are fighting each other. At that point it becomes a question of which is the lesser evil.

So like the US elections.
