    From my page https://liamthebox.github.io/Torrent-With-A-VPN/

    According to Reddit user u/spyfigure: “If you are in Germany, nothing of the first paragraph applies. The lawyers have contacted the ISP, who gave them your details. This happens on the first infraction. The letter you get is including a C&D together with the lawyer invoice of €2000, the maximum allowed by law. You can try to ignore it or fight it, but with limited success. If they are thin in resources, it might happen that the statute of limitations’ time runs out (2 years). You’ll still get threatening letters from the lawyers in the meantime. This is automated, no manpower needed. If they drag you into court, they do it just before the statute of limitations comes into effect. Also, if they want to make an example, they’ll do it. If they see that you have shitload of torrents on iknowwhatyoudownload.com, they are probably trying to punish you. Lesson: Never torrent without a properly protected VPN.”
