I can’t positively claim that’s the case but I wouldn’t be surprised if your registrar has to give out your information if a valid legal claim comes in.

- Teever 2y agoHow can your registrar confirm that it is a valid legal claim?
- lukan 2y agoAuthorities have ways to mark their letters. And one usually ignores them at own risk and cost.
- echoangle 2y agoThe problem is that an Abmahnung doesn’t really come from some state authority but just a lawyer. Maybe confirming that it’s from a real lawyer would be enough though.
- leobg 2y agoI think you’d need to get a court order. You may be able to get that if you are a direct competitor. Essentially, unless you have a competitor who has a keen interest in making your life miserable, nothing will happen. The days were lawyers themselves could send you ceise and desist letters just to earn some money are long gone.
- lukan 2y ago"The days were lawyers themselves could send you ceise and desist letters just to earn some money are long gone." I don't think so, just their peak is gone. Lawyers still send letters - but they never had legal weight. It is basically a deal(or exortion), just pay this small sum now, or I have to go to court and then you will have to pay a lot.
- echoangle 2y agoHow does a website determine if a copyright claim for some user-generated content is valid? I think they just look if it’s roughly plausible and then give out your data and let you fight it out.
