I honestly think they have zero case here. The article just says stuff about reddit claiming that antrhopic doesn't have reddit users' consent and something about reddit being a le to defend their users.
However U.S. law puts the copyright in the hands of the creator of it, NOT Reddit. I guess Reddit can cut IPs off, but I really don't think they have a tort here.
Users give Reddit a license to handle and publish the comments under their terms. I don't remember the specific terms. It may allow Reddit to pursue this, specifically when the content is being consumed from Reddit.
Yes which would allow them to handle distribution. Like IP address bans. A video store can't sue a customer over copyright if they make a disc image of a CD. That'd on the copyright holder only. They can ban the customer though.
