Reddit doesn't have much of a choice than to fight this. If they roll over and give out the data every other studio will want the same treatment. Which likely would also involve the Authors Guild and RIAA as well wanting info on posts.
They would certainly like to maintain the posters and the data they bring by blocking this, but if push comes to shove, the posters are going to get hosed to save the stock.
