While we can be pretty confident that Reddit has its own motivations (i.e. self-interest) for fighting these lawsuits, this is still a good news story for pirates.

You don't have to (and shouldn't) side with any for profit company

I'm glad Reddit won here because it sets a precedent that will protect less well-funded Lemmy instances.
