The copyright predators Waldorf Frommer [1] and their representatives are, or at least were, using services of ipoque GmbH [2] to impersonate peers in BitTorrent networks and collect IP addresses. Then the subscribers' personal data are obtained from ISPs with the court order by the court in Munich. Finally Waldorf Frommer attempts to extort money from individuals on the list. Lawyers from Waldorf Frommer and professionals from ipoque GmbH are participating in racketeering of residents in Germany on behalf of Twentieth Century Fox.
