Can't wait for this company to be public and to be subject to the whims of shareholders chasing profit.

What’s more disturbing than the filmmakers continually trying to get the ips, is that the courts keep entertaining the filmmakers. At what point does the legal system say enough?

Why? If they are handing them over to people, why shouldn't the filmmaker be able to see them?

They only handed over 1 ip address. Because he/she explicitly said they were a customer, during a specific time period, and admitted to doing it.

Reddit is refusing to hand over any more because it's all circumstantial. Example: I heard this ISP doesn't give a fuck.

And Reddit has further evidence that handing over ip addresses will hurt the others because the film companies immediately started harassing the one ip address they did hand over, via a reverse lookup through t-mobile.
