@ber There have been enough private "small fry" that have been sued and ruined over torrents. Not 20 years ago, but later.

@wonka @nixCraft Can you share an article that shows an example of a person who has been sued, and ruined, by a lawsuit for tormenting? I'm doing research for a paper about how misinformation/disinformation spreads, and this thread could be helpful.

@ber My google-fu seems bad today, or maybe Google itself is not what it once was - but getting caught torrenting here in Germany could cost you about 1000€ if it was only the first time. That's not what I have as petty cash.

@wonka @nixCraft Ha :) Absolutely. The fines are high where i am are high, too. But the threat of prosecution is different than actual conviction. Just checking if you (or anyone) knows of actual large fine convictions. Thank for checking!
