Good news for German wankers.

German courts are taking a dim view of law suits brought against people that view pr0n on Redtube. Apparently, lawyers for some pr0n makers have been trying to get a quick one off the writ. :tea:

Redtube isn't simply a German issue. Wankers of the world unite with happiness and some relief today. :coffee:

What these lawyers did was basically an elaborate form of scamming. And they close-to-lied to the courts to obtain the contact addresses of their victims.

I had a law firm chasing me over file sharing once.
They obviously went the same route to get my address, and sent some VERY official looking letters, repeatedly, over quite an extended period.
I didn't reply to any, but they were incredibly persistent. I imagine some people must have cracked and sent them money. The paperwork was very high-quality stuff, in very important-looking envelopes, and I believe I even signed for delivery of one, as I was expecting something else.

It was always threats of going to court, without ever QUITE going the final step. And the constant message was, pay now, to avoid huge court costs.

They lost a bit of money in my case, but I'm sure that they made money overall.

I was wondering at the time if you could turn the tables on them, and counter-sue, claiming that you could prove that you had not file-shared, or whatever, and that you would be instructing lawyers to fight the case, and counter-sue for their costs, and damages for the distress of harassment.

Their chances of actually proving in court, who was using the pc at the time are virtually nil, whereas you can easily produce an alibi that they would find it impossible to challenge.

Perhaps you could threaten them with court action for costs and distress, and offer to settle for £300, just like they do. They would actually be in a bit of a hole, if you did.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Slightly. There's was some interesting 'chicks with dicks' stuff on there. Fairly eye opening some of it... :o

I hadn't looked at it for so long I had forgotten about it... I wonder how you managed never to hear of it, maybe you treat pr0n as you do booze?
