The submission of a (modified) declaration of omission makes no sense to you, if you do not have to hand in any omission! If you are not responsible for the alleged copyright infringement, you also do not owe the submission of a cease and desist letter. In certain cases, we always advise against submitting a declaration of omission.
Caution: Clients often tell us that law firms, for example, from Cologne or Berlin (of course, not us) for more action against a warning from Daniel Sebastian demand more than stately package prices. We have heard of fees of up to 600.00 EUR. Despite this, from our point of view, in no relation to the case standing fees, the persons affected receive however for this no professional argument with the concrete case. Rather, only a standardized letter including "modified" declaration of omission is sent to lawyer Daniel Sebastian. However, this does not constitute a professional and in your interest proceeding against the warning.
Legal defense makes sense if you have not posted any copyrighted files on a swap meet, but can not rule out that your children, your partner, your roommate or any other third party is responsible for the infringement. In these so-called third-party cases, the courts are increasingly deciding in favor of the connecting owners. But even if you yourself are responsible for the copyright infringement, a defense against a warning from Daniel Sebastian may be useful. In particular, the required compensation often seems exaggerated. After all, a warning can also fail due to formal mistakes.
No, do not! Get active! Based on our experience, you will find out for yourself that the strategy of simply ignoring a warning from Daniel Sebastian does not help. If you do not respond to a warning letter, there are usually only further written requests to fulfill the claim from the warning. But at the latest a few months before expiry of the limitation period, the claims of DigiRights Administration GmbH are often asserted in court. As a rule, it will be more expensive as a result.
In addition, for the success of your legal defense, it is important that you document the facts and record how it came to the warning letter. It is often very difficult to reconstruct these things years later in a judicial process. If you can not do that, you risk a costly process loss.
It is not sufficient to sign only a ready-made omission statement or a modified omission explanation and pay nothing or 100,00 EUR. Although this strategy is also recommended by lawyers, from our extensive experience, we can tell you that this method has no chance of success. We know that lawyer Daniel Sebastian DigiRights Administration GmbH will not recommend to be satisfied with this amount, but sue the difference to the claim. You may not have to pay anything. Therefore, take advantage of our free initial estimate to get more information here.
We can only advise against this. Please do not disclose any information that makes your legal defense unnecessarily difficult. Even if you are responsible for the infringement, in our view it still seems highly questionable whether the damages which are claimed really are appropriate. In addition, there is also the possibility that the connection owner data was determined incorrectly or in violation of valid data protection regulations. After all, a warning can also fail due to formal mistakes. Take our free initial consultation to complete.
The right strategy! This includes keeping the deadlines set by lawyer Daniel Sebastian in the warning letter. Do not let them pass away negligently, as the law firm Daniel Sebastian is one of those who enforces the demands of his clients in court. If you are neither a culprit nor a disturber, we regularly advise you not to meet any of the demands raised by Daniel Sebastian. In these cases we do not issue a modified declaration of omission. Instead, we present ourselves as a defense for you and explain this in the context of the so-called secondary burden of explanation, why you are liable in this case neither as perpetrator nor as a disturber, but that third parties are considered as perpetrators why you do not have to stand up for their actions.

Again, we advise you to set deadlines. Already in the warning of Daniel Sebastian you are threatened that claims are enforced in court in the context of an interim injunction, if you let time elapse. If you have received a warning, complaint or injunction on a warning, this may mean that you have paid only little attention to the warning. But now you have to be active, otherwise it will only be more expensive. Please also observe the deadlines set by the court. In particular, the so-called emergency periods are not renewable. If these are missed, a judicial decision is issued, which in any case triggers costs. The chances of success to reduce the amounts in the legal action are usually not bad. The recent case law tends in any case to reduce the lush amounts of damages.
