That's a really unfair system Germany has for itself. And I tend to sympathize with copyright holders over pirate.
If they are going to just hold you responsible by default, 5,000 Euros is way to high. I could see like 100 Euros, like a steep parking ticket.
Damn that sucks.
- digi_owl 11y agoLikely they are doing X euro damage pr song, pr album. And they are free to do so, as most copyright law is written based on the assumption of for profit copying. Meaning that said law assumes the person responsible is doing it industrially, and therefore has deep pockets. These are assumptions that belong back in the Gutenberg era. Yet any time the call to modernize copyright law, the legislators stay well away from actually considering the assumptions that copyright is based on.
