The C-S-R law firm is currently issuing warning letters again for Purzel-Video GmbH, Trimax GmbH, Z-Faktor Medien, Oftly-Goldwin GmbH, John Thompson Productions e. K. and Gröger MV GmbH & Co. KG. We have received warnings in which the lawyers assert claims due to alleged copyright infringements of several works with pornographic content committed via the internet connection.
The complaint is that numerous works have been offered via a so-called internet exchange platform and reproduced without permission. In the warning letters, the clients are required to submit a cease-and-desist declaration with a penalty clause and to pay a lump sum for damages. The colleagues also state that all claims for reimbursement of costs and damages arising from the copyright infringements are settled with the payment of the damages.
If you have received a warning letter for alleged copyright infringement on the internet, you should not submit the requested cease and desist declaration and/or make the demanded payment without prior legal review.
As a cease and desist declaration submitted by you is legally binding for 30 years, it is imperative to seek legal review before submission to ascertain whether, and if so, to what extent and in what form, you are obligated to issue such a declaration. Furthermore, the assertion within the warning letter that the account holder is invariably liable for the actions of third parties conducted via their internet connection, under all circumstances, is inaccurate as presented in these warning letters.
Therefore, prior to submitting a cease and desist declaration subject to penalty and/or contacting the issuing attorneys, you should always consult with a specialist lawyer in this field of law. Our extensive legal experience has demonstrated that obtaining legal advice upon receipt of a warning letter is consistently necessary and prudent to mitigate potential legal disadvantages.
Leveraging our qualifications and extensive experience, we have been advising numerous clients in the field of copyright law/filesharing for several years. We are also prepared to provide legal counsel and representation in both out-of-court and judicial proceedings.
For initial information, we provide our complimentary information text on filesharing on our homepage. You may directly contact our specialist lawyers at 0202-450036 or via info@goldberg.de.
