I read up on this when I got my own little surprise letter and found out that it indeed is quite common. I was surprised though that I hadn&#x27;t heard about this anywhere.<p>Maybe the most &quot;shocking&quot; part was how easy it is to get customer info from an ISP. And still I haven&#x27;t heard anything about this. Even though there exists political parties around this (eg. piratpartiet in sweden and other countries.)<p>Upon further googling I found some news articles where the lawyers try to drum up fear, but apparently only a couple of cases have gone to court here or are pending. One case supposedly ended in a secret(!) settlement. And this is the &quot;market court&quot; we are talking about, secret settlements seem weird.<p>Has there been any public court cases where the &quot;suspect&quot; has been convicted of any meaningful sum? One would think that these lawyers would make it a very public as a &quot;precedent&quot;.
