If you have received a warning letter for so-called file sharing (reproduction, distribution and making available to the public) of copyright-protected works, it is very important that you remain calm and seek advice from a specialised lawyer. Firstly, however, you must ensure that the deadlines set are not missed. Contact us and we will provide you with our initial assessment and inform you of the costs.
Important: Do not submit the prefabricated cease-and-desist declaration with a penalty clause without further ado. The prefabricated cease-and-desist declaration is often associated with considerable disadvantages.
The lawyers at LAWMUC will examine the facts of the case for you and advise you on whether a cease-and-desist declaration should be issued at all. If the examination comes to the conclusion that it is advisable to submit a cease-and-desist declaration with a penalty clause, this should generally be modified. We will help you to formulate and submit an acceptable modified cease-and-desist declaration.
Otherwise, you run the risk of violating the agreed prohibition area in the future, which could trigger very high fines (contractual penalties).
Contact us for a brief, non-binding consultation and then make your decision on how to proceed.
If you have received a warning letter or have any other questions or problems relating to warning letters, you can arrange an initial telephone consultation or send us an e-mail quickly and without obligation. You will also receive comprehensive information about any costs.
