Warning about streaming - you can do that

If you have received a warning for streaming, you should first remain calm. In this practical tip, we explain what you should do in this case.

Receive a streaming warning - you should do that now

• At the end of April 2017, the European Court of Justice ruled that streaming copyrighted material is illegal.
• If you have been caught streaming and received a warning, you should first read it carefully and keep calm.
• The judgment of the European Court of Justice provides for a warning fee of 150 euros per illegal stream plus the original stream costs of about five euros. If writing costs significantly more, you should be taken aback.
• The general rule is: write to your lawyer and describe the situation to him. He can then contact the law firm and take further steps if necessary. You should not initially sign an attached statement without consulting your legal counsel.
• If you receive another letter or warning, please contact your lawyer again. This maintains correspondence with the respective law firm.
