In Germany, will publish the names of "porn-pirates"

In order to prevent the public disclosure of the name, the pirates asked to pay a fine of $ 815

German law firm Urmann, which tracks Internet pirates, intends to publish the names of some of them. In particular, on September 1 will be published the names of individuals who downloaded pornographic content. Reported by the BBC.

It should be noted that representatives of the alleged pirates Urmann sent out letters of notification in 2006. The notice indicated that if the recipient will pay a fine of $ 815, it will compensate for breach of copyright and its name will not be in the published lists.

Note that according to German law, the lawyers have the right to publish the names of those who violate the rights of their clients.

Recall that in the fight against copyright infringers, the owners began sending notification letters to potential infringers few years ago. Some rights holders, for example, the American Association of movie companies use other methods to limit piracy. In particular, they get court orders that allow them to block access to copyright infringing sites.
