Why would Reddit ban it? It’s an easy way for them to collect users’ IP addresses for their corporate overlords.
The optics of a potentially publicly traded company (what ever happened with the Reddit IPO thing?) openly having a “how to steal other companies copyrighted work” forum is more of a negative than IP farming with no method to actually do anything useful with the IP addresses.
I think Reddit would have to tackle the mountains of porn too for those optics.
Porn is less of a legal liability than copyright claims is my guess.
Also… like… if somebody is dumping money into Reddit as a user of Reddit, which is more likely to make them stop: killing the piracy forums or the porn forums?
