Atlantic Records wants to subpoena Reddit for &quot;all and any other Reddit accounts which accessed [Reddit’s] service from the same IP address on or about June 15, 2016.&quot; That&#x27;s an unreasonably broad scope and an infringement of privacy waiting to happen. If the user went through a public proxy or coffee shop, that could mean handing over hundreds of accounts&#x27; worth of personally identifiable information.<p>I&#x27;m not surprised at Reddit&#x27;s response at all.

The user probably posted with either a public SOCKS proxy or TOR, so it would most likely be a pointless endeavor.
