    IPs alone aren’t enough. IPs tied with usernames can be a lot more compelling.

      Legally, not really. A username is also not a person.

      This is a fishing expedition by the producers, nothing more.

      From the article:

      Another reason Reddit refuses to comply with the film producers’ request is that “none of the posts depicted in Exhibit A to the subpoena appear to relate to movies that we understand are the subject of" the copyright infringement claims.

      The users made no reference to pirating IP owned by the producers.
