    So if reddit wins, that means the content is theirs. So if the content is theirs, they are liable for any content that is illegal. Is that true?

      The content’s theirs whether they win or not, isn’t it? It’s in the EULA when you sign up.

      Edit: Here’s the clause.

This license includes the right for us to make Your Content available for syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication by other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with Reddit.

        non-exclusive

        That means we can license all our content to another company, and Reddit would be forced to allow them to fetch it, as we still own it, right?
