If you read the article it states at the film studio wants the IP address is to prove that Frontier is not doing anything about people pirating on their ISP. They claim that they aren't going after the individuals themselves. The headline is deceptively vague.

And reddit still shouldn't release the IP address of specific users without a warrant.
