**电影公司与Reddit版权纠纷：隐私权与版权之间的平衡之战**
近日，三家电影公司再次向法院提出动议，要求社交平台Reddit提供六位匿名用户的网络地址信息，以支持其针对网络服务商Frontier Communications的侵权诉讼。这起事件不仅涉及版权纠纷，更凸显了信息获取与隐私保护之间的矛盾。
电影公司声称，他们希望通过Reddit上关于盗版和Frontier宽松政策的讨论记录，作为证据证明Frontier并未认真履行“重复侵权用户断网处罚”政策。然而，Reddit方面再次拒绝合作，理由是提供IP地址信息可能会暴露用户的真实身份，违反美国宪法第一修正案保障的言论自由和匿名权。此外，Reddit还指出，六位用户的讨论内容并没有提及电影公司指控被侵权的电影，与诉讼无关。
值得注意的是，此次纠纷并非电影公司与Reddit的直接对峙，而是源于他们与Frontier之间的版权诉讼。电影公司声称Frontier不配合提供用户数据，迫使他们转而向Reddit求助。而Reddit则认为电影公司提出的信息并不必要，且可能侵犯用户隐私，因此选择拒绝配合。

News Content: **Film Companies and Reddit’s Copyright Dispute: The Battle for Balancing Privacy Rights and Copyright**
Recently, three film companies have once again filed a motion in court, requesting social media platform Reddit to provide the IP addresses of six anonymous users to support their infringement lawsuit against internet service provider Frontier Communications. This incident not only involves a copyright dispute but also highlights the contradiction between information acquisition and privacy protection.
The film companies claim that they hope to use the discussion records on Reddit about piracy and Frontier’s lax policies as evidence to prove that Frontier has not seriously implemented its “repeat infringer disconnection policy.” However, Reddit once again refused to cooperate, arguing that providing IP address information could expose users’ real identities, violating the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech and anonymity in the United States. In addition, Reddit pointed out that the discussions of the six users did not mention the movies alleged to be infringed upon by the film companies, making it irrelevant to the lawsuit.
It is worth noting that this dispute is not a direct confrontation between the film companies and Reddit, but stems from their copyright lawsuit with Frontier. The film companies claim that Frontier is uncooperative in providing user data, forcing them to turn to Reddit for help. Reddit believes that the information requested by the film companies is unnecessary and may infringe on user privacy, so they choose to refuse cooperation.”
