I got fined 900€ + Tip for torrenting someamerican shit movie. AMA

>>211789667
Did the police visit your house?

>>211789667
kek how so

This is why I love being German but not actually living in Germany

>>211789667
Why are you doing the thugwork of some hollywood heeb for free?
I'd understand if you only went after some bundesliga streams etc. Why do you care about others?

>>211789690
The Police is not involved. There are lawyer offices specialised on that. They will seed copyrighted material and sue the people with german IP that download it. They can get your personal information through a courtruling by simply asking your provider.
You have to pay up and write that you will never again download this specific film again.

I torrented a currently popular movie to watch with my friend and hit a honeypot. I torrented TB of shit before and nothing ever happened to me. I think those laywer offices only persecute current popular shit.

>>211789758
Streams are fine. Filehosters are fine too. Only Filesharing can get you into trouble like torrent.
I still don't pay for media and pirate everything, I only became more careful.

hmm when I want to watch movie for free I just go to some fmovies type sites and stream it

>>211789628 (OP)
kek they do be like that

>>211789628 (OP)
He's right thoughever

>>211789804
What precautions did you use? I plan to live in Germany and never pay for any digital content I consume.

>>211789667
lol
in the mid 2000's i was getting sent letters by my internet provider telling me that they know i am downloading copyrighted torrents and that they are cooperating with the police
i ignored them and after a couple of weeks they stopped coming and i never heard anything again

Wtf that's fucking entrapment, how is that allowed? We also have a lawyer firm here in Finland who does copyright trolling but they only catch people by having isps snitch on torrenters who don't use a vpn.

>>211789667
I got fined for downloading Deus Ex: Human revolution. Don't know how much but my mom was very mad

>>211790050
Just use a VPN or skip torrent.

>>211790067
I think it was pretty much wild west here until some court ruling in the mid 2010s that made persecution possible.

>>211790068
It's technically not a fine but their process costs they make you pay. You can also simply not pay them but then they will actually sue you what will come you even more expensive. You will lose the case if you go against it.

>>211790175
that's basically blackmail kek

It's the same here, though they very rarely actually sue and it's better to throw the threat letter in the trash unopened than respond in anyway.

>>211790175
same here
i think the purpose of the letters etc was to make you admit to what you have done and only then can they charge you with the crime because tying an IP address to a person can be tricky
i ignored them because i was lazy but in hindsight it was the smart choice to avoid them trapping me

i WOULD download a car.

>>211790277
>>211790287
They do sue you here actually because we have some offices that are specialized on that.
I obviously didn't just pay straight up but consolidated a lawyer and that's what he recomended me according to his experience. In all cases of ignoring they sued and he lost the case kaing it more expensive for the client.

>>211790375
>case kaing it more
*making

I am also not the only one who payed up. Many such cases. Pirating used to be very wide spread and normal. Now it's a thing of nerds again.

>>211790287
They get your IP that commited the crime and taking it to a court to get a permit to persecute a crime. WIth the court permit they can get the actually user data from your internet provider. You don't have to confess anything the crime is already proven.
