Hello. I am writing to you to make a preliminary consultation regarding an infringement of copyright law that I have been accused of. I have received the following letter from Frommer Legal claiming that I have distributed copyrighted material. I have been given 23/12/2022 as deadline to present the cease & desist confirmation and 02/01/2023 to pay the amount requested. Hereby, I would like to find out what my options are to respond to this letter. Would you be able to advise me about the next steps I could take? If so, could you provide me with an estimate of your fees? Looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, XXXXX.

Hello. I received a letter from Frommer Legal alleging that I downloaded/shared 6 episodes of the TV show “Rick and Morty”. Their letter claims a payment of €1200 in damages, and €308.60 in legal fees (as far as I have understood from translating their letter) Enter details of legal insurance Unfortunately I do not have any legal insurance

Frommer Legal, Apparently they believe I downloaded or shared a movie using “file sharing applications” and/or “protocols“, it’s not clear which application/protocol they think I am presumably using to download movies. The provided “file hash” is not very helpful. Also the IP address does not match. Further, I know for sure I did not watch “Love Rosie”, the movie genre is a bit too girly for my taste. I am thinking it is a “hit and run” case to try extort money out of me and try to scare me into paying, so I am seeking advice on how to proceed. Obviously I am not interested in paying for a crime I did not commit, even if my life depended on it.

I received a letter from Frommer Legal for illegally downloading an episode from the stremio app. Actually, what I was doing was just watching this episode through the app without knowing that I am doing something illegal. I received the letter on 14/12 and the deadline for sending them a signed form is 23/12, something that makes me very anxious.

Bei drei Folgen der Serie wird eine Forderung von 1658,60 € gestellt. Die Abmahnung liegt dieser Nachricht bei. Weiterhin ist der letzte Brief (von 4) vom 08.12.22 angehängt, in welchem die Vorbereitung des Klageverfahrens angekündigt wird.

Hello, my name is XXXX, I am currently a subtenant at a friend’s house, and I have an unregistered contract. I downloaded the movie “The Batman” with a torrent P2P program, and I subsequently received a letter from a law firm called FROMMER LEGAL telling me that they noticed that I was downloading the movie and that they represent Warner Bros Inc. and asked for 935 euros. My friend called the legal firm and told them that I and not her downloaded the movie. A dear friend of mine told me she faced the same situation and used your legal counseling. MY MAIN OBJECTIVE IS THAT MY FRIEND DOES NOT FACE ANY LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY. My questions are: 1) If I do not pay, but admit that it was me and not my friend to download the file, does she face any legal consequences? and if I admit the wrongdoing, accept to not infringe copyright anymore if I do not pay them? 2) at the moment I have some savings, but not enough to pay the “damage”, but hopefully enough to pay for your counseling in this situation; would it be possible to negotiate to pay something like 30% or 50% to the firm of my first month of salary when I will not be a student anymore? 3) I am not a German citizen and plan to move back to Italy. could this be leveraged to dissuade the firm from pursuing any legal case against me, but just be fine with a declaration that I will never infringe on a Warner copyright ever again? 4) if I do not pay but stall, would I eventually face a criminal charge, the possibility of incarceration? 5) Is it possible to negotiate down to some other sum that I can afford? (like maybe 150 euros in a couple of months) lastly) my situation is that I pay 500 in rent and have a minimum as a research assistant at the university with a salary of 700, barely enough to eat, and 350-400 in savings. could be this fact (backed by bank statements) be used to negotiate down the fine? I hereby give my consent that my personal data will be forwarded to a qualified settlement professional and processed by abmahnungshilfe.de.

I received a warning form LEONINE Licensing GmbH (vormals LEONINE Licensing AG) (REF#L9ZLZ7LW) | Aktivieren Sie Ihr Benutzerkonto (22PP027273 – LEONINE Licensing GmbH (formerly LEONINE Licensing AG) (REF#L9ZLZ7LW) .

I do not see any movies, I just came to Germany and hooked to the internet and with no other warning received a notice of this kind.

Good morning, I received one letter 2 years ago, 26.10.2020 from Waldorf-Frommer, they said I downloaded in my computer one minute of one film but that is false and today 17.11.2022, I received one letter from the Amtsgericht of Wedding in Berlin Could you help me how to fix this?

Hello there, I am staying temporarily as a guest (for 3 months) in a friend’s flat and I have recently watched Rick and Morty through Stremio. The owner of the apartment (my friend’s mom) received a letter from Frommer Legal asking her to pay around 1.500,00 euros because of legal rights and claiming that I have shared the files with 3 episodes of Rick & Morty on the web. I am staying here temporarily, I researched before and read that Stremio was legal so I thought I’d be fine. I didn’t know that I would be sharing these files. I am an Italian citizen and I’m not staying here for long time, but I also don’t want to cause any legal problems for my friend and his mom, could you please provide some guidance on this situation? I am sending attached the letter. Important to mention that we took some days to notice the letter and the reply deadline is already missed (10.11.2022). The payment deadline is 20.11.2022. But I don’t have sufficient funds to pay it, I am not legally registered in Berlin neither have a job or any legal connections in Germany. Is there a way to argue that I didn’t know that I’d be sharing the files and that I thought I was watching it legally? Or to reduce the fine? Thanks a lot for your attention. We can call to give more details. Despite being an Italian citizen, I’m originally from Brazil and don’t have many funds, I still work in a social project in Brazil and I neither have network to help me on this situation so any help will be super welcome.

Dear Respectfully, I received a letter from FROMMER LEGAL where it says that I have breached the copyright policy by downloading a TV Series called (Manifest), the total amount they are asking for is 1658.60 EUR, and I am not in a position to pay this amount because I have 3 kids and a wife and we are receiving money from the Jobcenter. As I am new in Germany and have 3 kids and a wife and we are receiving money from the Jobcenter. Your support in this regard is Highly appreciated.

Frommer Legal for use filesharing p2p client

Guten Tag, Ich habe einen Brief von der Firma Frommer Legal erhalten. Laut diesem Schreiben soll ich einen Film illegal heruntergeladen haben. Das war ich aber nicht. Mein Neffe war da für ein Paar Wochen zu Besuch und ein Freund besuchte mich ebenfalls für drei Tage. Vielleicht ist es ihre Schuld. Aber wie gesagt, das war ich nicht. Im Anhang finden Sie das Schreiben. So wie ich das verstanden habe, muss ich bis zum 22.10. die (riesige) Summe von 935,80 € zahlen. Da ich mich dieses Vergehens nicht schuldig gemacht habe, möchte ich diese Summe nicht zahlen. Ich benötige daher so schnell wie möglich Ihre Hilfe. Sie können mich am besten schriftlich kontaktieren. Ich danke Ihnen im Voraus. Viele Grüße XXXXX

Da ich letztens von der Übernahme zweier illegaler Streamingplattformen von der ACE gehört habe, stellen sich mir ein paar Frsgen und will ich mich aus Interesse bei Ihnen erkundigen: 1. Was droht einem Nutzer, wenn er umgefähr 50 mal gestreamt hat? Bzw. gibt das einen Eintrag im Bundeszentralregister/Führungszeugnis? 2. Da des Öfteren von Premium Nutzern geredet wird, was droht denen, wenn sie ein Fakekonto mit Pseudonym nur besessen haben? 3. Wäre nach so einer Übernahme eine Abmahnwelle wahrscheinlich?

I received a warning from the Lawyer firm Waldorf Frommer for sharing via P2P the movie Zack Snyder’s Justice League of Warner Bros Entertainment and they ask me to pay 935.8 euro

I received a letter from Frommer legal for a total fine of 1035euro (799.20 in compensation, and 235.80 for legal fees). The accusation is the downloading and subsequent uploading via a torrent website during a brief stay in a Airbnb in Berlin. The Airbnb was also booked in my partners name and so her name is on the documents which complicates the situation. The company that Frommer legal is acting on behalf of is Warner bro. Entertainment Inc. I would greatly appreciate help regarding this issue as this is a sizable fine. I am currently unemployed and recently moved to Germany from Ireland. Kind regards

I got a warning from Frommer Legal yesterday about a movie rights infringement that I don’t know about

I received a letter from FROMMER LEGAL, stating that I had streamed illegally the movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent on the 20th of June, and that I should pay a fine of 980,60 euros to them.

Hello,

We’re not sure if we need a mediator or a lawyer. But hopefully you could please advise.

My friend XXXXX XXXXX has revcieved a warning letter from FROMMER LEGAL and a second letter, Ratenzahlungsvereinbarung with a deadline August 12th, 2022.

It’s for sharing one movie, and it’s the first time this has happened. XXXXX was not in Germany when the said sharing occurred and she’s out of the country now. She’s the owner of the property though. I (and some other people) am registered at the address, and even though I was not there during those dates, I recently came and collected the mail – both letters at the same time. Since there is a deadline on it, we both want to take care of it ASAP.

On behalf of XXXXX and with her permission, I could upload all the letters, but only in JPG cause I don’t have a scanner to change them to PDF, sorry about that. If she has to do it herself, it might be a bit tricky from another country, but please let me know if we should something else.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

With regards,

I don’t know what happened but I got notice for watching a dune movie. Maybe I have randomly pressed some link or whatsoever but I was charged 935 euros for 30 sec of streaming I guess.

Hi,

I went on holidays at my friends’ place in Berlin. I didn’t know the rules about streaming in Germany and I also didn’t know the platform I was using was based on Torrent. It was advised to me by a friend and I thought I was strictly streaming.
My friend quickly received a cease and decease letter from a law firm about 3 episodes I watched, belonging to Warner Bros. The total amount requested to be paid is 1500 euros, for 500 euros/episode.
I am not based in Germany. And my friends never stream or download illegal content. They are not responsible ! What can be done?

Frommer Legal on behalf of Warner Bros. Matter: Downloading a torrent file (The Batman movie on May 9th 2022). Payment suggested by them is 935,80€.

I am renting the apartment, so the warning letter is directed to the landlord instead of me.

I received a warning letter from Frommer Legal regarding a film download. I would like to make sure that the “Unterlassungserklärung” that I will sign will not be used by them to ask for more in the future. I just want to close this case.
It is also important for me that you contact me in English.

Dear abmahnungshilfe.de,

Because of letters (see attachment) regarding downloading a movie, I received from Frommer Legal.

I hope you are able of helping with this case.

Greetings,

Hello abmahnungshilfe team,

I got a letter to pay 935 euros from Warner Bros Entertainment for downloading illegally a movie, but this was a mistake since I tried a new software and wasn’t aware of this situation.

There’s any possibility of reducing this, or do anything?

My landlord received a letter from FROMMER legal and is about to forward it to me and my flatmates. It is a cease and desist letter and it claims 1000€ to be paid. I would like to get help with 2 things
1) pay as little as possible.
2) I read on the web, that I shouldn’t sign anything they sent me, but make a modified version of the cease and desist letter and sign that.
Basically I don’t want to admit doing anything illegal, but on the other hand I would like to just get it over with and pay up.

Are you able to help me with this?

I got a warning from Frommer Legal regarding some content I watched on the platform Popcorntime. I don’t know how what to do. Any help?

The warning is my roommate’s name. It says they want 1600 euros, which as a student I can’t afford. Ich habe eine Abmahnung von Frommer legal bekommen, wegen Urheberrechtsverletzung.

I’ve received the warning from Frommer Legal because of the file sharing of two movies

Hello, I moved to Germany a month ago and received this Abmahnung letter with a crazy amount to pay for using torrents. I had no idea about how things work here, back home we have no issue with that. How can I solve this ? Thank you.

Hallo,
ich habe eine Abmahnung von Frommer Legal erhalten. Es geht um einen über P2P File Sharing heruntergeladenen Film, den ich nicht kenne. So wie ich in Foren gelesen habe, handelt es sich um ein übliches und legales Verfahren. Wir (Familie mit zwei Kindern) wohnen zur Miete und die Abmahnung hat die Besitzerin des Hauses erhalten und an uns weitergegeben. Nach einigen Überlegen und Abfragen habe ich festgestellt, dass zu der Zeit eine Freundin aus USA uns besucht hat. Sie hat bestanden dass sie den Film heruntergeladen hat, aber mittels VPN. Wir würden uns sehr freuen wenn ihr uns dabei helfen könnt. Viele Grüsse,

I received a warning (cease and desist) letter from Frommer.legal asking me to pay about 2400 EUR. I need legal help. Not sure what to do. I received the letter today and the deadline to submit the signed letter is 23rd April and the deadline to pay is 3rd May.

It’s urgent! Please help. I’ve attached the letter as well.

Frommer Rechtsanwalts PartG mbB, Urheberrechtsverletzung

March

I received the Abmahnung on 30/3/2022 from Frommer Legal (www.frommer.legal) for supposedly downloading a movie called “The Death of Stalin”. I did not download this but I do have friends who come over and they have my WiFi password so it could’ve been them. The total amount they’re asking for is 980,60 EUR. This is a lot for a student researcher like me. I could not even afford to pay it right now. I’m not sure what to do about it. I’ve already messaged all my friends asking who did it but no one admitted it. I will make sure this doesn’t happen again.

What are my legal options here? Please advise. I have no signed or sent back anything right now.

Thank you,

Sehr geehrte Damen oder Herren,

ich habe für das Streamen (p2p Software Stremio) eines Films eine standardisierte Abmahnung von Frommer Legal erhalten.

Die Abmahnung ging an Frau XXXXX, wo ich zu Besuch war. Frau XXXX hat das Internet an der angegebenen Adresse angemeldet – Ich bin in dieser Adresse nicht gemeldet/wohnhaft, habe aber das dortige WLAN genutzt.

Ich würde das Schreiben gerne von Ihnen prüfen lassen. Die Summe von 935,80€ erscheint mir sehr hoch, ich wäre ggfs. zu einer geringeren Vergleichssumme bereit.

Ich habe noch keinen Kontakt zu Frommer Legal aufgenommen. Leider ist die Frist bereits verstrichen (versäumt wegen Urlaub).

Vielen Dank für Ihre Einschätzung und mit besten Grüßen

Guten Tag!
Warning was received by my landlord. He is living in a different place and have nothing to do with this warning. But still he owns the internet contract. Warning was received because of running torrent-client. There is a high chance that landlord would not cooperate anyhow and he is willing to handle things myself. Greatly appriciate your help

February

Ich habe eine Abmahnung von Frommer Legal erhalten. Als Grund wird illegales Filesharing des Films Dune über meine IP Adresse angegeben, die Forderungen betragen insgesamt 935 Euro.

My landlord contacted me and sent me a copy of the letter she received. Its says its from Frommer Legal.
I have no idea why I received it. I never downloaded anything. Yes, I have streamed movies or animated shows a couple of times, but never downloaded them.

Hello,

I have had the misfortune of receiving this copyright infringement warning from FROMMER LEGAL on behalf of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. and am in need of urgent help in formulating a reply. The due date for the signed cease-and-desist declaration is February 21st, while the payment must be made by March 3rd.

I am not a German speaker (I can understand a small amount, but am not able to speak), having immigrated to Germany in 2018.

I need to mention that I might be at fault for what is claimed in the letter, although it can be argued that my home network could have been breached as the mentioned times are quite short (16 and 17 seconds) during the usual period that the router is switching the IP addresses (between 02:00 and 05:00); also at that time my internet connection maximum speed was 50Mbps/10Mbps and I was using a DSL router that has known vulnerabilities (Speedport Smart 3 from Telekom).

The amount of 1708 EUR can be payed on my end by the due date, but I am well aware that if I sign the “Cease-And-Dessist” notice in it’s current form I am admitting my fault, and opening a new avenue of attack for Frommer/Warner Bros.

Thank you in advance for your much needed assistance.

With Kind regards,

I have received two warnings for the same day from frommer.legal.

Hallo, ich bin ein Student aus Aachen und wohne allein in einem Wohnheim. ich habe ein Abmahnung von WF bekommen wegen einer Urheberrechtsverletzung durch sharing eines Films. Der erwähnte film kenne ich nicht und ich habe es weder heruntergeladen noch aufgeladen. Das erwähnte IP adresse gehört mir nicht, meine IP Adresse fängt mit 137 nicht wie angegeben mit 93. Nach einer Überlegung habe ich mich erinnert, dass ich der Anschlussinhaber des O2 Netz für mein Brüder in Bonn, ich habe ihm darüber gefragt und er hat bestätigt, dass ein Gast aus Ausland zu diesem Zeitpunkt bei ihm zu Besuch war. wir haben der Gast kontakiert und er hat angegeben dass er über dieses Gesetz vergessen hat und das App Popcorn-time mehrmals über meheren Tagen benutzt hat. Ich und mein Brüder sind studenten und wissen über die Konzequezen werden und haben solche tat nie machen, wir hatten dem Täter früher auch bescheid gesagt aber er hat trotzdem so verhalten. können wir beweisen dass dieser drittperson der Täter war und somit mich von diesem Tat befreien ? wie kann ich micht gegen dieser Fall und alle in der zukunft mir zu erwatenden Abmahnungen verteidigen. Ich bin nur ein Student und kann die Strafen nicht leisten… können Sie mir bitte helfen?

January

Ich habe eine Abmahnung bekommen, kann jedoch beweisen, dass ich zu dem “Tatzeitpunkt” nicht in Berlin war, Inklusive meinem Laptop, da ich für meinen Arbeitgeber in Hamburg war. ES ging um 3 unterschiedliche Zeitpunkte, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere. 2/3 war ich nicht in Berlin. Es ging in allen Zeitpunkten um den selben Film.
Zusätzlich dazu habe ich meinen 1. Brief, den ich von Frommer Legal bekommen habe, “verloren”, verlegt, wie auch immer. Das ist ungünstig, das weiß ich. Kann ich den selber neu beantragen?

Dear Sir, Dear Madam, Good afternoon,

I am writing to you having received today a letter from Frommer Legal concerning the use of an online film. This complaint is formulated towards my roommate, XXX XXXX, holder of the internet subscription, but it concerns me.
Indeed, I am French, arrived less than a month ago in Germany for a short period. I don’t usually use streaming or download sites because I have a paid subscription to an online platform (Mubi). Nevertheless, looking at the possibilities on the internet to watch the movie “Dune”, it seems that I broke the German law. As I said, this is the first time and I do not intend to do it again.
I would like to ask for your help in this matter and to know the possibilities of negotiation (especially concerning the very important price. Being a student, it would be very difficult for me to assume the totality of this cost).
I enclose the letter I received and I remain at your disposal for any further information,

Thank you in advance,

Good Afternoon,

I received the attached letter and I would like to have some information about the type of services you offer with this kind of cases. Please feel free to contact me directly.

Many thanks,

Dear madam/sir, I have received a letter from IPPC Law firm for illegal downloading via BitTorrent asking for 1200 euro. This could be due to mistake by my wife who is new in Germany. I’m not really sure. Nevertheless, since it was through my internet account eventually, I am told that I am responsible by law. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate your help and guidance to close this case. Thank you in advance for your time and help. Sincerely

Good evening,

I am not German, but currently living in germany… today I had a letter from a Frommer Legal Firma in my mailbox, and ofc I searched the internet to try and understand all of this, bringing me to your website…

Quick explanation of what happened… I have purchased a new NAS from Synology (1st Ever), in which, one of the options it have available on the menus is “Downloads”… i tried to see what it was, and wrote down “Dune” in it… this link showed up, and i downloaded it…

I am now surprised with receiving this letter from this “Frommer” company… so, if it is then something illegal, why does Synology makes this option available for the persons on their NAS units?

MfG

Frommer – a minor/child downloaded bittorrent without explicit consent or permission and downloaded a movie – Space Jam 2. The application may have been infected with a rootkit it virus.

The movie in question was purchased in Amazon Prime upon receipt of the letter so there is no loss of profit.

Also the letter is badly evidenced. The 21 second window to download the torrent file is insufficient to download a movie. Therefore the GDPR request was illegally procured on the assumption the movie was downloaded.

I have received a notice from Frommer Legal about copyright infringement dated October 18th for downloading a show called Ted Lasso.

Guten Tag!
Ich bin auf einer Streamingseite reingefallen. Ich habe mich dort angemeldet um kostenfrei die Seite zu testen, allerdings konnte ich nach der Anmeldung die Seite noch nicht mal nutzen und wurde zur Kasse gebeten.
Die Seite ist www.hdfilme.tv
Ich habe direkt dafür eine Mahnung bekommen (siehe Anhang).
Wir soll ich mich da verhalten? Direkt eine Anzeige aufgeben und zum Anwalt?

Ich bitte um Hilfe! Dafür wäre ich sehr Dankbar!

Hello, I have received a letter from Frommer Legal (attached) and I would like to ask for your free of charge initial consultation. The letter was initially sent to the landlord of the house I am renting and Frommer Legal has now sent the letter directly to me, with a significantly lowered compensation request.
Could you check my case and instruct me on the best way to proceed?
Best wishes

Since I am new to Germany , I unknowingly surfed sxyprn ( a free porn site where other users upload the porn from original sites like Brazzers and other big sites) without vpn and viewed a video and unknowingly pressed download button in that site , but it’s just direct download not p2p or torrent. So will I get notice for fine as I broke the copyright or will I get warning

Guten Tag,
wir haben am Wochenende eine Abmahnung der Kanzlei Sarwari erhalten. Uns wird Urheberrechtsverletzung vorgeworfen, da angeblich über unseren Haushalt, ein Film von Berlin Media Art, für fünf Minuten über die Internettauschbörse Vuze zur Verfügung gestellt worden sei. Uns ist darüber nichts bekannt. Wir sind noch in Abklärung ob unsere Rechtsschutz hier einspringt, müssen ab laut Schreiben bis zum 8. Oktober antworten.
Über eine schnelle Rückmeldung, zum weiteren Vorgehen, ihrerseits würden wir uns sehr freuen.

Hallo, ich habe bis jetzt zwei Abmahnungen erhalten von Waldorf Frommer Abmahnung wegen “Tenet” für die Warner Bros. und den Film “The Father” wegen Filesharing bekommen.

received a copyright claim warning from Frommer Legal on behalf of Warner Brother for a torrent of film Tenet, as I by mistake downloaded the torrent from the thepiratebay.org website

I received a warning from Frommer Legal on behalf of Warner Bros. for downloading a movie on 6 August, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two.

frommer legal for torrent usage

Hello,

I received the attached warning yesterday claiming copyright infringement. Of course, I can not conform or deny that this file was downloaded using my internet service, but if my IP information states it as originated to my account, I understand I can not dispute. I do think my younger brother may have access the content as he was constantly on his computer when visiting. I asked him if he downloaded any adult movies and he said he “streamed” them from websites, but couldn’t conform the title mentioned. Anyways, regardless of who access the copyrighted material, I would like to resolve this issue as smoothly as possible while not paying a fortune for a video that can be found for free on a numerous adult websites for free.

Unfortunately I am on work travel at the moment and may not have access to my phone, so email is the best way to reach me at this time. I also only speak/read English so I wat to make sure everything I do with regards to the letter is well understood. I really appreciate your assistance.

Guten Tag,

es geht um einen Mahnbescheid.

Im Okt. 2016 erhielt meine Mutter eine erste Abmahnung Waldorf-Frommer (Waldorf Legal). Sie ist die Anschlussinhaberin. Bisher wurden keine Zahlungen getätigt oder Täter gefunden.
Unser damaliger Anwalt hat daraufhin mit W-F kommuniziert und bis vor kurzem war Ruhe.

Nun aber haben wir einen Mahnbescheid erhalten. Wir werden hier Widerspruch einlegen und suchen nun eine Einigung mit Waldorf-Frommer.

Meine Mutter ist Rentnerin mit einer geringen Rente von unter 1000€, darum würden wir Sie bitten dies zu berücksichtigen.

Bitte informieren Sie uns wie wir weiterhin vorgehen könnten. Über ein günstiges Vergleichsangebot wären wir sehr dankbar.

Vielen Dank und freundliche Grüße

Frommer Legal
Even though I had moved out of the flat months before and have supplied evidence showing this, my name was still on the internet contract when the illegal filesharing is supposed to have occurred.
I have already had contact with them but they maintain that I may still be involved. I am unsure how to proceed, especially in a way that is consistent with a legal matter

Dear madam/sir, I have received the attached letter from IPPC Law firm for illegal downloading via BitTorrent. I wasn’t aware that it was downloading–I may have forgotten to close the programme completely before entering Germany and it was running the background or it could have been a guest who stayed over the weekend who used my computer. I’m not really sure. Nevertheless, since it was through my internet account eventually, I am told that I am responsible by law. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate your help and guidance to close this case amicably (hopefully with reduced penalty, if possible), so that I can move on with my life with no strings attached. Thank you in advance for your time and help. Sincerely

I have received a warning letter from Frommer legal for a torrent video content download. I would like to reduce the costs of the associated copyright infringement compensation.

I received a warning from IPPC LAW for downloading content of MG Premium Ltd. The total cost would be 1202,62 euro. I would like help in dealing with the case and see what can be done about it. The deadline they set is 07/06/2021. Thanks for the help. xxxxxxxx

Hello, I received a letter from IPCC for downloading a video via torrent for a claim of 1202.62€ with a payment date of 28.05.2021. Entire letter attached via pdf. I’d like to know what the validity of the claim is and if anything can be done to remove or lower the amount payable. In particular I don’t want to sign any documents if it can be avoided.

I received a letter from IPPC Law, last saturday (15-05-21). The letter is of course written in German and I don’t speak that language very well, but it says that my IP adress had been used the 04-05-21 to share a porno film via P2P software (Bittorent). Hence, I have until the 24-05-21 to pay a fee of 1202,62 EUR There is also an Unterlassungs- und Verpflichtungserklärung to sign. Here are some other facts that I must mention: -I live in Germany since the 27-04-21 -I don’t usually use P2P software, but I have one that I used sometimes in France. -I didn’t intend to use P2P software in Germany, but I forgot to uninstall the one I had when I came in Germany, and the program restarted after an update/reboot of my computer, unintentionally causing file sharing.

Abmahnung von Waldorf Frommer, wegen Filesharing via bittorrent. Die Abmahnung ist als PDF angehängt. Zusätzliche Informationen: 1. Mahnfrist für die Unterlassungserklärung bis Monatg (17.05) 2. Ich bin in dieser Sache abgemahnt worden, da ich der Inhaber des Internetanschlusses bin. Ein WG-Mitglied hat schon zugegeben, dass er es war da er auf solchen Seiten als einziger von uns aktiv ist. 3.Ich war zum besagten Zeitpunkt nachweisbar in Spanien. Ebenfalls bin ich bereits Mitte März aus der Wohnung ausgezogen und habe nachweislich einen neuen Mietvertrag. 4. Ich würde mich über einen zeitnahen Rückruf Ihrerseits freuen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen cccccccccccc

Ich habe bisher 2 Abmahnungen innerhalb einer Woche wegen Urheberrechtsverletzungen in Internettauschbörsen von einer Anwaltskanzlei erhalten. Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar mir mitzuteilen ob es möglich ist herauszufinden wieviele Abmahnungen noch ausstehen und vielleicht eine Reduzierung für die Bezahlung der Gesamtforderung zu erreichen.

Wir haben am 11.04.2014 eine Abmahnung der Kanzlei Fareds wegen Filesharing (ein Musiktitel) erhalten, mit einem geforderten Schadensersatz über 339,50 EUR. Nach Abgabe einer modifizierten Unterlassungserklärung und deren Bestätigung seitens der Kanzlei war erstmal Ruhe. Letzte Woche erhielten wir nun erneut eine Zahlungsaufforderung über 200 EUR Schadensersatz sowie 76,44 EUR Geschäftsgebühr und Pauschalen. Sind dieses Geschäftsgebühren nach 7 Jahren verjährt? Lassen sich eventuell die geforderten 200 EURO Schadensersatz noch senken? Wir haben großes Interesse daran, diesen Fall abzuschließen.

Guten Tag, wir haben zwei Briefe/Abmahnungen von der Kanzlei Waldorf Fromer erhalten, Ansprechpartner Hr. cccccccc, beide Abmahnungen wurden am selben Tag erstellt, die Aktenzeichen sind verschieden. Vorwurf; Filme Tenet (Warner Bros) und Honest Thief (Leonine Licensing AG) über Torrent verbreitet zu haben. Downloadangebotszeit ca. 3 und 14 Minuten. Die Dokumentation der Rechtsverletzung erfolgte per PFS Digital Forensics Gmbh. Gefordert wird pro Brief 935,80€ ( 235,80 Rechtsverfolgungskosten und 700 Schadensersatz) Gesamt: 1871,60€ Die Original Unterlassungserklärung wurde noch nicht unterschrieben (Abgabefrist 23.04.21), die Mod. Ue. ist vorbereitet aber noch nicht versendet. Alle Beteiligten im Haushalt wissen schon seit vielen Jahren über Gefahren des Filesharing Bescheid und nutzen auch solche nicht. Wie es zustande gekommen ist, wissen wir momentan noch nicht. Sicherheitstechnische Maßnahmen wurden bereits ergriffen. Was uns jetzt interessiert, ist, wie hoch die Vergleichssumme bei einer außergerichtlichen Einigung ist und was Sie Bzw. Mediatoren für ihre Leistung bekommen? Gleich gelagerte Fälle haben Sie ja hoffentlich bereits. Eine weitere Frage hätte ich noch, sind ihnen Fälle mit 3 oder mehr Abmahnungen innerhalb von kurzer Zeit die von der Kanzlei verschickt worden bekannt? Vielen dank im Voraus. Mfg vvvvvvvv

ich muss ohne es richtig selbst wahrzunehmen vor einigen Wochen einen Film über das Torrentverfahren heruntergeladen haben. Tatsächlich kann ich mich erinnern den von Frommer angebenen Film kurz überflogen zu haben und sofort wieder gelöscht zu haben. Ein Torrent-Programm habe ich eigentlich auf meinem Rechner nicht installiert. Aber Frommer kann scheinbar einen Nachweis über ein Torrentverstoss im Zusammenhang mit diesem Film feststellen. Nun meine Frage an Sie, wie geht man am schlauesten damit um? Wenn Sie den Fall übernehmen, können Sie die Unterlassungserklärung in einer für mich vorteilhaften Version innerhalb der Frist 23.4.21 Frommer senden? Ist es möglich die Zahlung zu negieren oder zumindest zu reduzieren, und wie sind Ihre Erfahrungen dazu? Und welche Gebühren für Ihre Tätigkeiten kommen dabei auf mich zu?

I had a letter from Waldorf and Frommer today asking for payment for downloading files over a filesharing network (see attached letter). It wasn’t me, but I think it was my son – who is only ten. He is a big superman fan, and he is always doing stuff on his computer and watching videos. That’s the only thing I can think of.

Hallo. Habe vor 5 Tagen eine Abmahnung wegen Urheberrechtsverletzung vom Anwaltskanzlei Wadorf Frommer bekommen. Der Brief inkl. gesamten Unterlagen wird beigefügt. Bitte prüfen Sie den Fall, ob man da was machen kann.

March

I have received an Abmahnung from Waldorf Frommer for watching a movie using a P2P client. The fine amount is 935.80 €.

I´ve received a notification from the company Waldorf Frommer about a copyright infringement asking me to pay 450 EUR + 185,10 and sign a declaration. All this because of 1 episode of Babylon Berlim that they accuse me of download. I have 2 teenagers and sometimes they have friends over and they admit they may have downloaded the content without my knowledge, which they didn’t even watch since any of them understands German very well. Anyway, I looked around on the internet and I found your website. Therefore, I’m getting in contact to know if I can have your support in properly deal with this matter. I don’t how to write a reply in German, so I’m a bit lost. I’m sending the document attached and I can provide a better quality scan if needed. Lastly, I want to thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Von Waldarf Frommer wegen filesharing.

Waldorf-Frommer; file-sharing a television show.

February

I have received a warning letter from Waldorf Frommer for file sharing of a movie (The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies) via my connection. The claim amounts to a total of 935,80€ (700€ as damages and the rest as legal costs).

I would be happy to have your review on this.

I am a foreign student and currently I have received a warning from Waldorf Frommer lawyers. The claim from the lawyers is 535 euros after a phone conversation. I share my internet with my neighbor and he has a torrent program in his computer. I want to settle with these lawyers, but I do not want to sign a cease and desist letter because I am not at fault. Can you please help me how to get out of this bad situation. Currently I have no money and in the future I do not want to pay several fines. I ask for your understanding and help. I have to pay first installment by xxxxxxx and also send the cease and desist letter, so please reach me as soon as possible and show me a concrete and reasonable solution.

I received a warning letter from Waldorf-Frommer yesterday. I am accused of offering to file-share the film “Tenet” over a period of only 14 seconds. They demand 935 euros until xxxxxxx, as well as a cease and desist declaration until xxxxxxx. What are my options now, can I possibly reduce this amount?

On xxxxxxx I received a letter from Waldorf-Frommer on behalf of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. regarding the illegal download and copyright infringement of three episodes of a popular television series (“Ted Lasso”). The associated costs and compensation I have been asked to pay is 1658 €. I have been given until xxxxxxx to respond to the cease and desist letter and I have to make the payment by xxxxxxx. After doing some research, I came across the website ‘abmahnungshilfe.de’ which provided some useful information regarding copyright infringement cases in Germany. I would like to know what my options are and what the associated costs are of the mediation services abmahnungshilfe.de offers. I am interested in reducing the costs of the associated copyright infringement compensation.

Yesterday I received a warning (Abmahnung) from Waldorf-Frommer about downloading/sharing a movie with the suggested settlement price of 935,80 EUR (700 + 235,80) which, after my short research, seems like a default type of warning. As I have been in Germany for more than 5 years, of course I am aware that downloading or sharing such a content is illegal but what happened here was an accident. I would prefer not go in too deep into details of how it happened in the first e-mail but I do have a few questions about the service you are providing.
How does your service differ from getting a lawyer with the specialisation for the copyright infringement field? Could you describe me the process how this would work if I would decide to proceed with choosing your service for legal help and what kind of strategy do you offer. Would I need to admit my wrong-doing and will this potentially go into my police record or any other details I should be aware of?

I need help with a warning letter from the law firm “WALDORF FROMMER”. They want 935€ and a cease and desist letter until xxxxxxx. I don’t know how or if the download was done through my IP, but according to the letter the sharing took “10 sec”. I do not want to sign an admission of guilt.

My mother has received a “warning letter for copyright infringement” from the law firm Waldorf Frommer. The amount to be paid is 935.80 euros. It concerns the download of a film that my mother has not downloaded herself. Furthermore, a cease-and-desist declaration is to be signed.

I hope you can help me to clarify this matter professionally, and therefore I would like to ask you for your feedback.

Today I received a warning and cease and desist letter from Waldorf Frommer. PDF is attached. My 9-year-old son has watched the mentioned children’s movie (stream) in the Corona time on his tablet, without knowing that this is illegal!

We received a warning letter from the law firm Waldorf Frommer (file sharing of a film). In the letter, the holder of the connection is requested to pay a total amount of 935.80€ (damages + legal costs) by xxxxxxxxx as well as to sign a cease-and-desist declaration by xxxxxxxx.

The holder of the connection did not do it. It is quite possible that one of the family members is responsible. We would like to get out of this matter as well as possible financially (we consider the price to be usurious) and legally.

We are not interested in legal proceedings.

I look forward to a non-binding offer and explanation of the approach.

I and my wife are foreigners. A few days ago we received a warning letter from Waldorf Frommer. They wrote that from my account Vodafone the movie “Ocean’s 8” was shared. Now they want 936 euros from me by xxxxxx

My wife said that she saw this movie through Popcorn Time free, but nothing what shared or sold. Therefore, I think that we have done nothing criminal and the payment demand is incredibly high.

Could you help us in this situation?

2020

October

Yesterday I received a warning letter from the law firm Waldorf Frommer due to the (alleged) filesharing of the series “The 100 – The stranger” (IP-reference from 05.09.20 17:55 to 17:56), in which I am requested to pay a total amount of 619,50€ (damages + legal costs) until 19.10.2020 and to sign and submit a cease and desist declaration until 09.10.2020.

Since the accusation is quite within the realm of possibility, I would like to get out of this dilemma quickly, but above all ” mildly” in the financial and legal sense.

I expressly have no interest in legal proceedings.

I received a warning from Waldorf-Frommer for torrent downloading/uploading 3 episodes of “The 100”. To be honest, this is correct so far. My main concern is a reduction of the payment amount and the enclosed cease and desist declaration. The dates for the cease and desist declaration are very tight. This is to be submitted up to 15.10. However, the letter of warning was not in the mailbox until Friday, 09.10. Payment receipt of the claim should be on 25.10.

My questions:

Does the warning only refer to these 3 episodes or will I have to pay more?

Please contact me if anything is not clear yet.

I (as the holder of the connection) received a warning from the law firm Waldorf-Frommer on 10.07.2018 regarding file sharing, with a demanded compensation of 915,00 EUR. I was not in my apartment at the given time, but there were other people in my apartment. Thereupon I engaged a lawyer, who took care of the out of court representation. Now, on 5.10.2020, I received a dunning notice from the district court Hamburg-Altona with a claim for 1,340.47 EUR. I did not cause the damage, but I do not want to go to court either. Is it still possible to reach an out-of-court settlement at this time?

I would like to ask you to examine my case in this regard.

Warning letter by Waldorf/Frommer due to copyright infringement (transfer to third parties through file sharing program)

2 movies: “It” part 1 & 2 from Warner Bros

fine in the amount of 1600 euro

Neither I, nor anyone in my flat share, downloaded these films. I am checking it with guests and neighbors who had our password.

I contact you to inform me about a specific case and in the best case to receive a prognosis from you.

These are 2 warnings from the law firm Waldorf Frommer which were sent to 2 different addresses. In both cases films were watched via the portal POPCORNTIME on the same laptop. However, the warning letters were not sent to the laptop owner in both cases.

The claim for damages is 2500€ in total.

Is there a possibility in such a case to negotiate to reduce the claim?

August

I have received a warning letter from Waldorf Frommer regarding an alleged file sharing case. I have attached the complete document. It is claimed that a download was shared for 10 seconds or something like that from my connection. For this they want now over 1.600, – €.

I have received a legal dunning notice from the Coburg District Court regarding the lawfirm Waldorf Frommer.

In 2010 I had received a warning notice. At that time, I already contacted a lawyer and together with him I settled the matter. That’ s what I thought.

Now almost 10 years later I receive this warning notice.

In the meantime I have moved three times and if my parents did not live at the address where the dunning notice was sent to, I would not have known about it.

I do not have any more documents about the process at that time.

In all these years I never received a letter concerning this matter.

Could you please help me to clear this up?

I received a warning from Walldorf Frommer regarding Copyrights violation. We’re 2 people sharing one WiFi and the other guy had a visit from his friend from Riga, Latvia. And the guy who visited had downloaded movie in Riga through Torrent, but when he came to Frankfurt am Main, he had forgotten to close the torrent application on his laptop and unknowingly let it run in the background. And after a week after that, I received a warning letter from Walldorf Frommer that I now need to pay 915€ for this violation. But I’m innocent and so is my neighbour with whom I’m sharing the WiFi, but the guy who visited him did this copyrights violation unintentionally.
The deadline to pay 915€ is on 28.08.2020. Please help us out of this situation, as we are both students and are in no way in the financial situation to pay such a big amount.

My father had received a warning for file sharing in 2011. A modified cease-and-desist declaration was issued and a partial payment ( of 250€) was agreed upon with our then lawyer, which was done in combination with a “letter of defense”. In this stated: “This [partial payment] does not terminate the thing finally, but reduces the complaint risk completely substantially”.

Now after 10 years we ( my father) have again received a dunning notice about the same thing. The payment amount has even increased from 965€ (claim from 2011) to 1130€. Not even the partial payment was included.

I attach all documents and hope that there is a fair solution to this problem.

Warning due to an illegal file sharing service via my internet connection. The law firm Waldorf Frommer is acting here on behalf of Warner Bros. Entertainment GmbH. The warning notice was dated 10.11.2014.

The warning refers to a file (Supernatural – Black, TV episode (long)) which is supposed to have been offered on the Bittorrent network on 09.10.2014 in the time from 19:55:34 to 19:56:14.

At that time I was offering a ” Freifunk” WLAN access, which I switched off immediately afterwards. Unfortunately, my current lawyer is not able to represent me further on. Therefore I contact you.

The warning already dates back to 2014, and until April 2020 I had not heard anything from Walldorf Frommer after the objection. Possibly also because of my move and a new address. Now I have received a dunning notice.

My father received a warning from the Waldorf Frommer law firm for distributing the film “Tenet” by Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. through a file sharing program. I use my father’s internet connection and downloaded the film on 02.09.2020 via a torrent file sharing program.

I would like to reduce the total claim.

My wife received a letter from Waldorf Frommer for two episodes of a TV show and a movie that was streamed by our subletters. We have the internet, but it was not us who streamed the episodes in January 2015. At that point our lawyer was able to handle the case with an objection (Widerspruch), but we received new letters this year again. We have until Sept 17th to begin paying the fine but we do not want to pay the fine, or at the very least we would like to greatly reduce the rate.

I have received a warning from the law firm Yussof Sarwari in Hamburg regarding file sharing of a film (see attachment). After I had informed myself about the situation on the Internet, I submitted a “modified cease and desist declaration” according to relevant recommendations. Their acceptance was confirmed to me on 10.09.20. The deadline for payment of the requested 650 € was extended until 25.09.20.

I do not wish to be subject to legal proceedings. What possibilities do you see here, in particular to reduce the claimed amount for a settlement?

I have received a warning from the law firm Waldorf Frommer on behalf of Leonine Distribution GmbH for allegedly sharing the film “7500” via bittorrent. The accusation is correct.

For details I have attached the complete warning.

Can you do anything else here?

I received a warning from the law firm Waldorf Frommer about a copyright infringement. A film “Kimi no na wa. [Your Name – Yesterday, today and forever]” was offered via bittorrent.

A cease and desist declaration is requested until 04.10.2020 and payment of 915,- EUR (incl. RA costs) for compensation until 14.10.2020.

Please examine my case and give me feedback.

July

Today, I received a warning letter from IPPC LAW for unauthorized public access to 5 films via the Internet file sharing platform Bittorrent. The settlement amount was set at 1762.39 €, which are to be transferred up to 16.07.20. Attached is also a cease and desist declaration.

I found your service through internet search and hope you can help me. I also became a victim of one of these warning law firms – “Yussof Sarwari” – because of copyright infringement on internet file sharing platforms. I might have started a torrent download and if so, I terminated it after a very short time. I downloaded and offered the mentioned film only in fragments at most and it was never really on my hard disk, i.e. it could never be watched. Obviously the attempt of a download is enough to get a warning. So in my case it’s about the reduction of compensation and the submission of a modified cease and desist declaration. It would be nice if I could be helped.

In 2018 I received a warning letter from Waldorf Frommer. I had this handled by the law firm “xxxxx“. Although an adapted cease and desist declaration was accepted and I was advised not to pay the demanded amount. Now I have received a legal dunning notice from the court and am looking for a reduction and a final settlement of this case. The situation was that my router had an open WLAN network and a neighbor used my connection to download this movie.

All files are attached here:

– warning letter (2018)

– legal dunning notice (2020)

– All correspondence of Waldorf Frommer & the law firm xxxxx

I look forward to your feedback. Thank you.

I came back the day before yesterday from a short vacation and was horrified to find a letter from the CSR law firm in Karlsruhe in my mailbox. The letter contains a warning about a copyright infringement via file sharing – specifically a film called “xxxxxxxxxx” by PMG Entertainment Ltd. I am being asked to pay a sum of € 815,- and sign an attached declaration of cease and desist. Since I definitely did not download this film I ask for your help. I have been given two extremely short deadlines to respond. I don’t know how to proceed or what costs will be incurred. I would be very pleased if you could contact me.

Hello, I have received the legal dunning notice from the court of Coburg regarding Waldorf Frommer.

This happened two years ago when a friend downloaded a torrent file while he was here on vacation. I ignored the original letters and then changed my address.

Now I have received a leagl dunning notice from the court of Coburg, which demands a fine of 1.371,14 EUR.

Am I too late to take action with this request? Please inform me.

June

I have received a warning from the Waldorf Frommer law firm. The warning refers to an alleged provision of a total of 3 film titles through a P2P file sharing program via my internet connection.

The alleged availability of the three film titles was no more than 15 seconds each.

The alleged costs which I have to pay amount to 2.447,60€ (to transfer until 09.07.2020)

Furthermore, I am to sign a cease and desist order, in which I additionally undertake to pay the total amount due. The deadline for this is 29.06.2020.

Can you please check the requirements of the law firm and negotiate an appropriate settlement offer with the law firm on my behalf? Enclosed you will find the warning letter of the law firm

I have received a warning from Waldorf Frommer, dated on a film that is said to have been offered for download on 29.03.2020.

I have not lived at this address since 01.01.2019, but there was a minimum period of validity for the telephone connection and my termination at the Telekom at that time was not possible on my moving out date. Therefore, the telephone connection was taken over by my flatmates, I am no longer a contractual partner and since 01.01.2019 I have no access to this connection.

Can you please help me to solve this problem?

I received a warning from Waldorf Frommer a few days ago, accusing me of having shared a film about Torrent. Now there were two deadlines in that letter that I was supposed to observe. They wanted me to have a signed cease and desist declaration, which should be received by 15.06.2020. Because of the whole Corona situation I was not able to meet this deadline.

A couple of days ago I got a letter from Waldorf Frommer concerning the download of 2 TV-show episodes, charging me with a really high fee (1115 euros). From where I´m originally from (Colombia), doing this would not cause any legal issues, therefore I was not aware of the penalties and problems that it could cause here. After searching online I decided to not contact Waldorf Frommer, nor sign their document.
Instead, I would like some advice from this platform. I would like to know how to solve this problem as soon as possible. If the fee can be reduced, can you give me an estimation of the amount? and I would also like to know the cost of your services.

On 04.06.2020 I received a reminder from the law firm Christoph Schmietenknop due to copyright infringement in Internet Filesharing. However, I am not aware of any such copyright infringement. In the attachment you can see the complete letter with all details.

May

A long time ago I had illegally downloaded a movie. Afterwards there were the well-known letters from Waldorf & Frommer. I read them all and ignored them.

Now I received on 28.04. the order for payment from the district court Coburg. How should I proceed further?

I got a warning from the Waldorf Frommer law firm.

I didn’t download the file in question. However, at that time I had a visitor from Russia, who has long since left. It is now difficult to trace what was done.

What would you recommend? To try to reach an agreement or to file an appeal?

I have received a default summons from Walldorf Frommer Attorneys at Law. Refers to a (actually committed) copyright infringement of Jan 2013.

The claim amounts to approximately 1000 €.

I would like to avoid filing a lawsuit. Should I pay or can you do something for me?

I am living and working in Germany for more than 1 year now. Last week, I have received an abmahnung (915€) from Waldorf Frommer for Filesharing the movie “The Nice Guys”. According to my researches, you have dealt with plenty of cases like mine. Therefore, I have decided to take your advice on my case.
According to the “abmahnung”, the movie has been shared 2 times on 30.04.2020, a total of 4-5 minutes, one is at night other is in the afternoon. Clearly, at night I was sleeping and in the afternoon, I was working. Moreover, I had a foreign (not Germany resident) visitor in my home. He said, his filesharing program opens when Windows starts and it might share the file automatically. In the end, I am fully innocent in this case.

Now, I am looking for your advice on how to react. Thank you for your support.

I have received a warning for copyright infringement from the law firm Waldorf Frommer. I personally did not share the file in question and it was not used in my PC. It was probably a family member who was present at the time and used my internet connection. However, I have no interest in ” denigrating” the person in question. Especially since this person is, to my knowledge, having some financial difficulties at the moment. The requested sum seems to me much too high for sharing a file fragment in a short period of time. Moreover, the requested cease and desist declaration seems to be very general, especially in the last section, and very much to the disadvantage of the signatory. I have attached the documents. I would be pleased if you could help me to get a better settlement offer.

April

Today I received a warning from the law firm Waldorf-Frommer regarding file sharing of a film from LEONINE Distribution GmbH. The law firm demands the payment of a total of 915 € (700 € damages plus 215 legal costs), payable by blackout. at the latest, as well as the submission of a specified declaration of discontinuance. I have been living in Germany for 4 years and I have downloaded a film with a torrent program. I did not know that this is illegal here in Germany. At first it was never my intention to do business with it. I hope you can help me in this case, because I am not able to pay the claimed amount within this time frame.

I have received a warning from the law firm Waldorf Frommer for copyright infringement, on behalf of Studiocanal GmbH Berlin. Via my internet connection a filesharing program was used to download the film “John Wick” for 32 seconds (!). My 17-year-old son wanted to download the film via an app, but that didn’t work out at all.

I have received a warning from Waldorf Frommer. I have moved to Germany quite recently and I wanted to continue to watch a show that I can not watch here since since almost channels are in German. Also there is no streaming service (like Netflix) where I can watch it either. So I downloaded it but at that time I didn’t know that it was illegal. It’s the first time that something like this happened to me. It was never my intention to incur in an illegal act.

I would like guidance in the matters. Researching on internet I found your page which has good recommendations. Any assistance is truly appreciated.

I found a warning letter from the law firm Waldorf Frommer about copyright infringement (file sharing) in my mail. Content of 12 seconds of the film “The last full measure” was said to be distributed via my internet connection with a filesharing program. I therefore need your help to deal with this warning appropriately.

I have received a warning from the law firm Waldorf Frommer about copyright infringement for the download of the film “Contagion”. They are claiming 700€ damages and 215€ for legal costs. At the same time I am requested to sign a cease and desist declaration.

Please let me know if there is anything you can do to significantly reduce the total amount. Please note that the download has been done effectively.

March

Today, after returning from vacation, I received a warning letter in my mailbox from WALDORF FROMMER about copyright infringement. I am accused of having illegally offered a film for 14 seconds (!) via my Internet connection. I am now to pay 915 EUR and sign a cease and desist declaration (which, according to Internet research, makes me very vulnerable for all time.) Deadline for cease and desist declaration is blackout., for payment: blackout..

Facts: my family, parents and parents-in-law have access to my connection, there is a 4-year-old child in the house, occasionally our guests also get access to the WLAN. I haven’t downloaded or uploaded anything because we use Netflix and Amazone Prime and have no need for any file sharing. I cannot exclude that the child has tapped on something colourful via touchscreen for a short moment when we were distracted for a moment. I doubt that 915 EUR should be charged for this.

It would be important to me to get help which is on time, avoids extremely unfavourable cease and desist declarations and handles this unfair sum reasonably.

Documents attached.

Thanks in advance.

Today I received a warning letter from the law firm Waldorf Frommer about file sharing of a film from Warner Bros.

The law firm demands the payment of a total of 915 € (700 € damages plus 215 legal costs), payable by blackout.. at the latest, as well as the submission of a specified cease and desist declaration by blackout..

The deadlines seem unreasonably short to me and I find the amount of money rather steep. Furthermore, the cease-and-desist declaration does not specify a maximum amount of the contractual penalty, but only states “… The amount of the contractual penalty will be determined by Warner Bros. Entertainment lnc. at its reasonable discretion and can be reviewed by the responsible regional court in case of dispute.”

It would be nice if the amount of damages could be reduced. I also do not have a good feeling about the rather vague wording of the contractual penalty in the cease and desist declaration.

You are recommended on some sites on Internet for advice and problem solving in warning cases with the law firm Waldorf-Frommer .

I have received a warning notice about the Stremio APP.

The reason is that I installed the program “Stremio” for Linux as recommended by a computer magazine. With this program it is possible to access media libraries. Here you can find a small selection of movies/series etc. There is also the possibility to install additional add-ons. What I have unfortunately also done. Since most of the add-ons were labelled as torrent, I decided to use Popcorn, since there was no reference to torrent or file sharing.

When selecting a movie, it says either not yet available or “free”. The film that was warned by the law firm Waldorf-Frommer was and is still available as “free”. It was not possible for me to realize it was streaming via torrent or film sharing. Therefore, I have assumed that this offer is legal.

I only found out about the fact that it was offered illegally through the warning notice by the law firm Waldorf-Frommer.

The question is, how should I handle in this case?

Especially about the cease-and-desist declaration and the very short deadlines. Will you negotiate these with the other party or do I have to take care myself of the modified cease-and-desist declaration in due time?

I received a warning notice of 962,39 Euro from IPPC Law for downloading a film. I assume that I have indeed seen a film online, but I did not deliberately make it available for upload.

Unfortunately, the deadline is today. But I saw the letter only yesterday because I isolated myself at home because of the Coronavirus Pandemic. So I urgently need your help to reach an agreement with better conditions.

I cannot check the details which stated in the warning notice myself as I have no file saved. E.g. I cannot confirm the title of the film, the exact time (no duration was given) and even the IP address. Therefore, I would possibly not sign a cease and desist declaration.

I find the costs very high and the deadline too short. I’m still in the probation at my job and can’t be sure if I will keep my job in this difficult time. And then I have to face a fine of about 1000 Euros. I understand that the company would like compensation, but perhaps an agreement can be reached for a smaller amount.

I am not from Germany and do not speak German well enough to understand legal texts. Therefore, I turn to you to negotiate an agreement for me.

Dear Sirs and Madams,

Here is the short summary of what has happened:

– Warning letter for file sharing received from Waldorf Frommer

– The letter was sent to the address of my daughter (same surname)

– DSL connection is available in my daughter’s apartment in Berlin at the given address

– I am the one who ordered the DSL connection and pay the fee to support my daughter during her studies

– An acquaintance did not consider the film to be prohibited file sharing and started it

– I myself was at my place of work

– I do not live in Berlin but in Potsdam

Many thanks in advance.

With kind regards,

February

The warning comes from the law firm Waldorf Frommer, Warning due to copyright infringement.

The accused copyright infringement came through the use of an app (PopcornTime) which my son (13 years old) installed and used on his smartphone without my knowledge.

I do not want to sign the cease and desist declaration demanded by Waldorf and Frommer in this form without further ado. Can you help me to modify the cease-and-desist declaration? I also question the amount of damages (700 Euro). Does it make sense to negotiate with Waldorf and Frommer on this matter by an out-of-court settlement? What is your experience.

Dear Sir or Madam

My grandma, who lives alone and has nothing to do with computers and of course does not own one, received a letter from Waldorf Frommer out of nowhere. Allegedly a film was distributed with the connection for a few seconds. Now over 600€ are demanded.

This is clearly a mistake, because the router is only connected to the TV and a few mobile phones and there is no one else living in the household apart from my grandma.

It is important to mention that the connection is still registered to the deceased grandfather and has not yet been re-registered. I hope one can find a quick solution here.

I have received a warning letter from WALDORF FROMMER on behalf of TOBIS Film GmbH. It concerns file sharing of the film The Peanut Butter Falcon, which is said to have been offered on the Internet for only 19 seconds from our connection. As the owner of the connection I am now supposed to pay 915€ for this.

Hello,
my name is blackout., from Spain.
I downloaded a movie, in Germany using a torrent program. I did not know that it was ilegal here in Germanay (In Spain is allowed if you do not make business with this material, onle selfconsuption). First of all I my intention was never make business with this.
Im living in a rent flat and the owner received from Waldorf Frommer a Warning letter.
one of these problems is that I received this letter from my flat´s owner a few days ago, after the payment deadline.
I must say that the apartment’s owner is not the responsible of this.
Please, how can we solve this problem?

January

in 2012 I received a copyright infringement notice from the law firm Waldorf Frommer because I allegedly downloaded a film from Universum Film GmbH via my IP address, which I did not do. I live in a shared apartment where several people use the internet connection. At that time, I had all claims rejected by a lawyer. Waldorf Frommer announced the initiation of legal proceedings on April 2, 2015, but they did not take place.

In mid-December 2019 I received a default summons from the local court in Coburg, against which I lodged an objection in a timely manner. In a telephone conversation with my lawyer at the time, he informed me that the counselling assistance was no longer effective and that I should independently try to reach an out-of-court settlement. However, I have only limited confidence in this and would therefore like to use your services. I am aware that an earlier attempt to reach an agreement could have been more successful, but I wanted to leave no stone unturned in my efforts to reject the claims in full.

I am a student and currently have no income.

I received a warning letter from the law firm Waldorf Frommer for copyright infringement.

On the day of the alleged offence there was a family celebration (where everyone had access to the internet), so it is not possible to determine who and whether this offence was committed at all. There were several children and young people present who could have done this without anyone noticing, so it is not traceable. However, this seems unlikely, since everyone in the family has access to Netflix and co.

I have already received a notice from Frommer in 2011 about a film. With a modified cease-and-desist agreement the matter was settled. Now they’re taking the case out of the drawer again. First just an info letter / warning letter (at least that’s how I interpreted it and therefore ignored it) and I’m supposed to pay 700€, which of course I didn’t do.

But now came a default summons from the court with 1135€. How to proceed further? That was 9 years ago and I am not even sure if the accusation was correct. Besides, I lived in a shared flat

Can we settle and we can end this for a smaller amount for good? Or do you think the allegation is so weak that it’s safe to win with a lawyer?

Today I have received the statement of claim from the district court of Munich, (substantiation of claim Waldorf Frommer). Unfortunately I have just now found your website, so I wanted to ask whether it is now too late to turn to the settlement professionals?

On 17.01.2020, I received a warning letter from the law firm “Waldorf & Frommer” for copyright infringement. This concerns the transmission of a cinema film via torrent client (P2P) over a period of almost 7 minutes. These facts are true. Can you still help me before I pay the fine and sign the cease and desist declaration? Possibly via a settlement, as the claim is really very high and the payment term is very short?

2019

December

I have received an infringement letter from law firm Waldorf&Frommer. My deadline for submitting the cease&desist letter is on 22 November. I have watched the film “John Wick: Chapter Two” over the streaming portal Popcorntime, it was not clear to me, that in the background a filesharing system was running. I would like to accept the offer for a consultancy to act accordingly in this case. For me an out-of-court settlement would be my goal.

Is it necessary to submit a modified cease&desist letter? If yes, how should it look like? Thank you very much for your help in advance.

As you can see in the appended document I have received an infringement letter for filesharing (which I have not committed).

I would be very happy with consultancy over e-mail or a WhatsApp call. I am only available via online means since I am currently in South Asia (which is also the reasons for the late message)

So far I have not established contact with Waldorf Frommer.

Hello,

On Monday 25 November an infringement letter from law firm Waldorf Frommer was received per post.

Based on the written there was a movie being watched over our WiFi connection. As you can see in the appendix it was the film Shazam. Waldorf Frommer shows in the document that the film was shared and uploaded for 2 days over our IP Address.

What I can definitely confirm is, that the film Shazam was not shared or downloaded from our household.

There are following circumstances.

My husband and myself are not experienced with such software, irrelevant from the fact, that we are not the target group for such a film.

My son that lives in the same house in the apartment above us also did not know the film.

We have a commercial building and share our WiFi password to a very narrow circle of people. This is necessary for business reasons.

In addition to that several relatives and acquaintances were visiting from abroad on the day of the infringement.

The WiFi is shared in 2 buildings.

Our WiFi is also not powerful enough to download or share such films. The transfer would last a long time due to the very slow internet connection. From the document it is understandable that the times were late in the evening and very early in the morning and lasted 1 minute every time.

A transfer of a film in such a short time period is therefore impossible due to the stated reasons.

We are certain that at the listed times no family member was using the internet.

Law firm: Waldorf – Frommer

Infringement letter for 1 film (Joker by Warner Brothers). I should pay 915€ until blackout.2019

I have received a letter from Waldorf Frommer in which I am made liable for download of a film. That is not the case and probably it will be linked to an open guest WiFi which was set up as default on the Router.

November

I have received an infringement letter from the law firm .rka Rechtsanwälte.

It is about the upload of copyright protected software (Computer game: “Metro Exodus”)

In 2012 I received the first infringement letter from law firm Fareds. After that I have submitted a modified cease and desist letter. Now the law firm is threatening me with a law suit. I am of course not prepared to accept the claim and to pay. According to my knowledge, as a so called “violator” I cannot be made liable.

Yesterday I have received the appended letter. The original infringement letter I cannot find, it was probably from 2010.

Back then I have submitted a modified cease&desist letter and have not paid. What can I do?

Walldorf und Frommer infringement letter for Warner Bros.Entertainment Inc.

Today (2 November 2019) I have received a court order for 801,99€ and I would like to have legal consultation.

The original claim is from blackout.2016 and I have responded by submitting a modified cease&desist letter and

How may I best proceed?

October

I have received an infringement letter from the law firm Waldorf und Frommer. After consulting my legal insurance, which will not take my case, I was advised in a consultation, that I should first send a modified case&desist letter with explanation, that it is not clear to me who has done this.

In the meantime, it was found out that a guest that was a minor has tried on that day to watch a movie through the onlineportal Popcorn.

After the transfer of the letter and modified cease&desist letter I have again received the post from Waldorf and Frommer with a deadline of blackout to make the payment in the amount of 915€ or pay it in rates of 50€/month.

I have received an infringement letter from Waldorf Frommer law firm. Two latters, dated blackout and blackout that were sent to the address of my brother (blackout c/o blackout), since that is the post address which is listed with my internetprovider blackout.

The internet connection itself is not at this address but in our vacation house in Berlin. Waldorf Frommer has also received the post address from blackout and not the connection address, since they are different. At the address mentioned in the Waldorf Frommer I do not have an internet connection and I also do not live there, therefore it has taken some time that the letters have reached me. I have called Waldorf Frommer on blackout on the phone and informed them of my address in blackout and have yesterday again received the correspondence per post. During this call the deadline was set to blackout.

Furthermore, I can also say that I do now know the film “John Wick: Chapter 3” at all and also do not have any file-sharing software on my notebook.

Since the connection is located in a vacation home, which is also used by others, I cannot say with a 100% certainty that the infringement did not occur from my internet connection or if third parties gained access to my internet connection without approval.

If and how this goes is beyond my technical understanding.

Since I am not guilty I am hoping you might help me to close this case.

Waldorf Frommer, for film Godzilla from Warner Bross.

I received an infringement letter from Waldorf Frommer from Munich. I should send a signed cease&desist letter with penalty before blackout as well as compensate high claim of 915€ by blackout. The letter is for an illegal download of the film “John Wick: Chapter 3” in the internet over my internet connection.

Is a reduction of the amount possible?

I have received an infringement letter from Waldorf Frommer. The download of the film was not done by me, it was an acquaintance from abroad that was visiting and has used my WiFi connection.

I have read the letter too late since I was on vacation until blackout October 2019. The deadline for the cease&desist letter has expired on blackout and the amount of 915€ must be paid until blackout October. I do not want to sign a cease and desist letter for an infringement that I have not committed.

September

I have received an infringement letter and would ask to check and achieve a better settlement with the law firm. I have appended the letter (most important 3 sides) as pdf. If you need more information you may also call me.

I have received an infringement letter from the .rka law firm, since over half a year ago I downloaded a computer game with a filesharing program.

I have seen the letter too late and the deadline on blackout at 18 o´clock is already overdue.

I do not know if anything can be done in such as short time.

Hello. The letter dated blackout from Fareds Rechtsanwald – license damages claim. I have received a letter with a claim of 270,20€ from 2013, I do not know anymore I received anything at that time.

August

Hi, I have received the first infringement letter from Waldorf Frommer in blackout.

At that time I have signed the cease&desist letter and sent it. After a telephone call with a lawyer I was advised to not pay and should not react to further letters. I have also done exactly that. I was advised to only react if a letter came from court. Exactly that happened and the claim was submitted to court. On blackout I received a claim letter from the court blackout. The claim is 1.132,46€.

I have received an infringement letter from the law firm Waldorf Frommer. The law firm claims I have made the film “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” available to other users (file sharing) via my computer.

From Waldorf – Frommer Rechtanwalte. Supposed illegal download of the movie Hellboy. I already questioned my kids, but no one is assuming the download.

I would like to have your services to set an agreement between the parts but for a fairer amount than the almost 1000 Euros they want. At the moment I am unemployed and receiving ALG II.

Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc – Waldorf Frommer. Reason: copyrighted materials shared illegally and for free in internet. Film: Detective Pikachu

I have received an infringement letter from the law firm Waldorf & Frommer. In this case it is about a download of a movie via BitTorrent. Based on the short deadlines I kindly ask you for for a reply on blackout if you can take this case on such a short notice.

July

I have already received an infringement letter from the law firm Waldorf & Frommer in 2016 for the sharing of the film 300:Rise of an empire.

That referred to a period (from blackout until blackout) where we were in the blackout (from blackout until blackout). Our sons, then 19 years old, had a key to the apartment. The thing is already at court blackout, I have already submitted my defense.

The infringement letter for the movie blackout ist completely true. It came from Waldorf Frommer. The Filesharing program was running for a week in the background on my laptop. This also means, that I was logged into a total of 3 networks. In both private households (where I am not the owner of the connection) appropriate letters, 915€ each, have already been received. In blackout it will probably arrive in the coming weeks if they will also receive a letter. Momentarily we are talking about 3 claims, each 915€, total 2.745€.

Waldorf + Frommer, infringement in sharing markets, for a TV series from Warner Bros. Entertainment GmbH, estimated claim value is 566,90€.

Today on blackout I have received an infringement letter from IPPC LAW by post. It is for the filesharing via BitTorrent of a porno film at blackout.

The letter includes a cease&desist letter and an offer for an out-of-court settlement in the amount of 962,39€.

The deadline for the cease&desist letter ends on blackout and the deadline for the transfer of the claim amount on blackout.

I hope you can help me in this case, as momentarily I am not able to pay the required amount in this short period of time.

Hello, I have received an infringement letter on blackout from court blackout. In this the law firm Waldorf und Frommer defines the main claims:
