Tbh Germany is very nazi about pirating, I mean I could pirate everything all day and would never get caught here because slovenia is a shit country and nobody is really looking for pirates. I'd reckon same goes for your place Bjord. Or are you trying to say that you're an expert at not getting caught pirating and are actually taking extra measures to not get caught? (aka private torrents/sharing, vpns/proxies, etc)?
Molly what happened, did you have to pay?
What was the game/movie
Some shitty trash B-movie a friend suggested, don't even know the name anymore.
Months later I got a letter stating that my IP was connect to the torrent, uploading copyright secured material and this was not allowed and that I had to pay 800€ and sign papers not to do it ever again.
Went to a lawyer and he told me that the "proof" was legally questionable but going to court would be much more expensive but he could keep them busy with paper work for 3 years until the claim is void, for 200€.
So, yea, I paid 200€ to a lawyer to keep another lawyer off my ass for 3 years.
Considering my 'activity' at the time... still kinda cheap.
Thing is, Germany has companies specialized in collecting IPs off torrents, even uploading fake ones just for collecting. Then they go to a court, tell the judge "Look, they all uploaded which is illegal." Judge has no technical understanding whatsover and allows the company to go to the ISPs and demand the clear names of those IPs at that time, then the company sells those names to a law firm, spezialized in sending out hundreds of letters daily, demanding 500-1000€ for violation of copyright.
Most people still pay them directly instead of going my way and fight the demand with a lawyer of their own...
They get fucking rich with this scheme. So, yea, Germany is no gudz for torrentz... Personally, I switched to one-click-hosters...
