How will dbzer0 handle IP subpoenas? (lemmy.today)

I'm referencing this article: https://torrentfreak.com/film-companies-seek-torrenting-history-related-to-redditor-240220/

Given that they're expanding to reddit, I was wondering how dbzer0 is setup to handle similar requests. The legal help page for dbzer0 is just an e-mail address.

I would hope a piracy instance is hosted somewhere that doesn't care about such things as American court orders.

Looks like it’s hosted by Lithuanian Radio and TV Center. At least that’s who owns the IP address.

dbzer0? Or do you mean something else? LRTC is a public gov org, if someone is hosting a torrent tracker on their net they’re gonna have a bad time

I can’t speak to that. I just looked up dbzer0’s IP address and did a Whois to see who owned it.
