Reddit is not a "good" company but at least they are doing the right thing here.
Maybe if Reddit isn't saving the IP addresses of their users, film companies wouldn't be able even if they want to retrieve that information.
But then PTBs wouldn't be able to perma-ban for hurt fee-fees.
Maybe one of the six IPs belonged to spez lol
Hey that userdata costs money!!
