- weinzierl 12y agoThat's correct for the technical side. As far as I understand the legal side works like this: The lawyer files charges against a person or persons unknown. A judge decides about the request for information according to § 101 UrhG[1] (Anspruch auf Auskunft). With this document the lawyer can obtain the name, address and other data from the provider. The lawyer sends the cease and desist letter, people pay (usually) and the legal case is dismissed. [1] http://dejure.org/gesetze/UrhG/101.html http://dejure.org/gesetze/UrhG/101.html
