- nils-m-holm 8y agoThis is a big problem here in Germany and might very well be a reason to shut down my site on 5/24.
- nils-m-holm 8y agoWould the downvoters care to explain what offended them? Looking the other way does not help solve a problem.
- Dayshine 8y agoWell, my immediate thoughts in response to that reply were: "Why is some extra law specific to Germany relevant to my comment? This is a discussion about the GDPR, not about national data protection laws."
- nils-m-holm 8y agoIt's not about national laws, it's about the implementation of the GDPR on a national level (namely C&D letters).
- rorykoehler 8y agoSounds like the piracy law. I was getting letters for downloading movies and shows I had never even heard of let alone seen. Chancers were casting a wide net hoping people would panic and pay.

- teamhappy 8y agoI don't think that's possible. Do you have a source to back that up? (Also, they don't automatically result in a charge.) "Abmahnungen" are cease and desist letters by the way.
