This analysis assumes that reddit can only be liable for infringing material that they are hosting, but not for links to infringing material. I personally think this makes sense, but from what I can tell, the DMCA is not clear about this, so companies will take down links to protect themselves just in case. For example, I know that Google will remove search results in response to DMCA takedown requests. So turning off thumbnails may not have been sufficient to avoid legal issues.
