Do you know what you are talking about?

The blackmail done by a "private rogue lawyers", has a judge signature to authorize the ISP to give my personal information based on the IP that they supposedly got doing the infringement. This is always done in courts in Bavaria that are very copyright-owners friendly.

Furthermore, around 1 year after I "Lawyered up", I still got a official Court order to show up in court, that's when I decided to fold and pay the 1000€.

I received those letters 2 times. I have never responded to them. There was a "Gerichtlicher Mahnbescheid" once which is just [x] denied. The rogue lawyer continued to harrass me asking why I denied their claim. I didn't respond to that either. In the end nothing happened.

They use scare tactics. That was before the mess the EU created 2-3 years ago with the reforms. So idk what the status is like now. But ignorance is bliss. The big players do it all the same. They ignore you until they really have to deal with you.

3 years ago? So your case will be forfeit at the end of this year.

Expect a followup by them this December, which prevents forfeit.

Some asshat lawyers do actually drag you in front of a judge, and you can't ignore that.

Personally, I think this sort of timed thing (regardless of which law or debt is being collected) should be pro-rated, at least if it is against a human on behalf of a corporation or the government.

If there's a 100 day time limit for the lawyer, and they take 99 days to get back to you, the first 99% of the value should be forfeited (perhaps with like a week or two grace period). Clearly they are not that in need of the money, and professional bureaucracy dealers should not be able to simply drag things out against people who simply wish to live their lives.
