Legally, not really. A username is also not a person.
This is a fishing expedition by the producers, nothing more.
From the article:
The users made no reference to pirating IP owned by the producers.
True, but when tied to an IP address known to be used by a suspected person, it can be used as evidence.
Also if the Reddit account is old, there's a good chance they provided at least one piece of identifying info that further ties that account to a target.
It's not definitive but it is a lot harder to toss out
Evidence of what?
That someone was making shit up on reddit? That is all that it proves.
It proves nothing else.
It does not prove that what was written is true.
It does not prove who wrote the comment.
