Coming from Germany, where these kinds of things have become law, I can say that this is intended against European website owners (both private and corporate).

Coming from Germany, where these kinds of things have become law, I can say that this is intended against European website owners (both private and corporate). It's a money-making scheme that allows lawyers to send out what would accurately translate as "Admonishments", one step up from the US-style "Cease and Desist", allowing them to legally rip people off to the tune of 1000 € or more. It's already commonplace in Germany. To profit from this scheme, you just have to be a certified attorney, then you can send out as many of these costly and legally-binding letters as you want. No recourse, no appeal, no trial.
