No, there isn’t. Admission is unconditionally not grounds to gain information.
The literally only way there’s any grounds to give them a single bit of information is in response to a direct, clear, action facilitating distribution of specific content Nintendo owns. They could provide direct evidence that they have pirated every piece of content Nintendo has ever made and it would not be excusable for Nintendo to even ask for their information.
Nowhere in my comment did I claim that Nintendo is entitled to any of the requested information.
And yes, you’re correct: they could download every game ever created without paying for it and shout from the rooftops about doing so, and nobody would have a valid claim against them because that’s not copyright infringement.
I’m specifically talking about the brilliant geniuses who, in no uncertain terms, state that they have or intend to personally upload, share, or otherwise redistribute in any form, ROMs and other copyrighted works. Only the government has the right to demand Reddit hands over personal information of its users, but if Nintendo asks and Reddit hands it over, I’m not going to feel bad for the subset of them that were stupid enough to paint a giant target on their own backs.
And that was the entire point of my original comment. Not “Nintendo gud”, not “pirates bad”, and certainly not “Nintendo has an involiable legal right to know the PII of pseudonymous users on another platform”. Simply, “play stupid games while expecting Reddit to protect you from the consequences, win stupid prizes.”
