I got billed 1200€ for downloading 2 movies when I was 15. I will never use torrents again.

When injustice slaps you, you should do more of that, not less, but protecting yourself (vpn, tor, etc.)

I assume this is Germany. Usually you can haggle it down to the low hundreds if it's the first time and you show you're just a regular young person with not much income.

		Yea it was. Was 15 years ago though. Never looked back at it, I just won't ever use torrents again so I'll never face this issue again.

You mean some asshole asked your parents for that sum to not go to a trial that they would lose and your parents paid.

		First off it was like 2 months after my father's death we didnt have time for this, secondly my mom got an attorney that I paid. Was roughly the same amount though. We never paid them.
