In what appears to be an escalating incursion into a user’s digital privacy, a collective of film companies continue to implore the court to compel Reddit to surrender its users’ personal details. This move is part of an ongoing piracy liability case against Internet Service Providers. Reddit, however, steadfastly resists, staunchly defending its users’ rights to anonymous speech.

Okay, I see this so much, but I have been ~~pirating virtually all of my media~~ downloading Linux ISOs (in the US) without a VPN for… 20 years?

I’ve gotten about a dozen letters from my ISP and I just chuck ‘‘em in a bin.

Depending on the ISP your service can be terminated for pirating. VPNs are cheap enough where you might as well just use one

What's a cheap good VPN for someone in the US?

Mullvad's fast and $5, but it's hosted in Sweden. Can't have everything I guess
