German lawyers are ecstatic over copyright issues. Soon they will form human centipede and demand 1000 EUR from everyone whose address they'll put their hands o

  I highly doubt it as this is about a commercial app infringing on the copyright of a small open source developer. They will only send letters to people who cannot defend themselves.

    No, they also like to do that with large companies. A few hundred € damage is too low for most companies to care much about it. If the open source developer hires a lawyer I'm sure they'd be happy to make them some money. I wouldn't be surprised if they already got contacted. There are a lot of German lawyers out there looking for "victims" to sue on their behalf.

      Yes, but even with companies, preferrably small ones. The ones who don't have a lawyer on payroll who handles such threats between second coffee and first lunch. Such that paying the demands is cheaper than hiring a lawyer.
