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.

Its a surprise to me that a reddit post or any kind of random text blurb can be used as an admission of anything. What if the guy simply says I made all that up for fun? There is no requirement for text written on the internet to be under oath. Edit: fixed spelling oauth -> oath ;)

Wait a minute. Are you saying people can lie on the internet?

This changes everything!

Hold on. Let's test this.

I knew you could lie on the internet.

Edit: holy shit it worked! I have a giant penis!!

I'm a billionaire. I have my own private island that floats above the world and I can also teleport anywhere in an instant and open portals into other dimensions. And I have a pet dragon named Sparkles.

I am a human penis with arms and legs, and I just learned how to use The Internet

Shit I didn't know oauth means you got to tell the truth on the internet.
