German law is the most complicated law system on the whole planet… at least that’s what different sources and personal experience say. It’s just natural to need a lawyer to do anything there, which costs 80,- € upwards (private people). In addition those companies suing take actions against the law, some examples: 100,- € is the highest sum they can demand, everything else is against law. How they gain the personal information can also be against law, like going to a court and getting personal info off an IP. Third: mass letter sending is also against the law, each letter must be made for a specific case. Fourth: They have to prove you downloaded/uploaded 100% of the game/music/movie, which they do not. Fifth: Letting people sign a (modified) declaration to cease and desist that gives copyright holders the right to demand 2.000 ,- € per game/music/movie for 30 years to come (it’s regarded as agreement). This list goes endlessly on… while the public response is mainly manipulated by politics and news-media (pirates are bad, we have to sue them). End users have little to say there, despite being the masses, maybe this changes with german pirate parties taking politics. In France the law for copyright holders seems very favorably against Germany… like suing without courts.
