MODERATORS
Yeah but the piracy subreddit also had those rules and various companies still sent notices to reddit. Sure they were bullshit, but copyright law puts the burden of proof on the alleged infringers not the copyright holders.
Someone here claimed they were in the Netherlands, turns out that's not true they're hosted in Finland.
I didn't know the USA's DMCA applied to the country of Finland. Reddit still got them because they're a fucking US company based in the fucking US.
This shit is like people not understanding that The Pirate Bay didn't have to follow US laws back in the day. Infuriatingly fucking dumb.
Ruud, the main admin, is in the Netherlands, the server is in Finland.
Are you forgetting when the FBI still came after Pirate bay? And that the founders would have been arrested had they ever entered the US or any country with an extradition treaty?
