While we can be pretty confident that Reddit has its own motivations (i.e. self-interest) for fighting these lawsuits, this is still a good news story for pirates.

They'll need one but that doesn't mean they will be able to afford one. The point of these lawsuits is to intimidate, even if they don't win, if people see lives ruined because of the cost to defend, they'll be scared into not pirating. This is a fear campaign.
