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.

    It helps admins help you stay anonymous by relieving them from having to cover for you.

      I am not going to thank the unpaid volunteers who make the fediverse possible by getting them C&D letters/legal threats.

        Well I appreciate that. But simply discussing piracy should be okay.

      Not really, though. If they’re ordered to turn over IPs, they’ll turn over IPs. Whether those are legit or VPN IPs is another story, but the burden placed on the instance admin doesn’t really change much.
