After successfully fending off three subpoenas from filmmakers seeking user data related to piracy discussions, Reddit is back in federal court. The company is now requesting over $55,000 in legal compensation, suggesting that these repeated requests amount to an "anti-piracy publicity campaign" that chills lawful speech by Reddit’s users.

The lawyers are going to eat all their compensation money even if they win.

They are also asking for additional legal fees for filing this motion.

For the foregoing reasons, the Court should grant Reddit’s motion and award Reddit $55,204.19 in attorneys’ fees incurred in opposing Movants’ motion to compel and subsequent motion for de novo review.
