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.
Careful with this. Downloading pirated content can definitely be illegal depending on where you live.
It’s just not usually enforced as heavily as redistributing.

Yes but you commented on a global website, so your previous generalist statement definetly doesn’t apply to everyone reading it :)
It’s a US site and a US court.
US law is the only thing relevant to the case being discussed.

And that’s why they specifically referred to “your previous generalist statement” where you didn’t do that.

Then share your local law. Don’t be pissy that Americans are clarifying for other Americans.
America is such a small country though, no one would assume anything said online is directed at it’s miniscule population without an explicit reference.
Whoops, your bias is showing.
this! there are countries other than the US
