WB is after Reddit

Piracy is something that is not easy to track and eliminate. Beside songs that are popular for being pirated and distributed throughout the web, movies come second on the list. Hollywood has a high concern and aims for Google and Reddit. Warner Bros. studios asked Google to remove a page directing users to a subreddit called BestOfStreamingVideo. The DMCA notice claims that the subreddit was infringing on Warner Bros. rights for the 2015 movie Interstellar because a link to a pirated copy appeared in a thread. Google refused to comply with the request. And as for Reddit, moderator xosfear said that: "The sub was made as a way for our users to share streaming video, and as Reddit is a platform for free speech it is out of our control as to what our users post. In my opinion, if Warner Brothers spent all the time and money they spent on trying to control piracy on building a centralized platform for users to own their own movie library for a cost-effective price, they would make millions. Look at what Steam has done for Valve and video game piracy. Of course, that would mean co-operating with other movie studios, and I doubt they would put aside their greed to do that." Previously, Lionsgate film has targeted the same subreddit in 2014, and failed.
