On the 23.10.2010 right in the ARD reported in the guide about a case in which a mother is invited to pay 45,000 euros. Preceded by a warning because of illegal filesharing in so-called Internet sharing, which the mother received three years ago is this request for payment. At that time paid already 7,000 euros as punishment. Also, the wife had signed a cease and desist in the rest assured not to commit the infringement.

After all the declarant for 30 years is committed to a failure. In the cease and desist the declarant undertakes a specific unlawful conduct to refrain from. Is a cease and desist, the declarant is no longer possible to refrain from consuming. The cease and desist eliminates the “risk required for an injunction or restraining order”. The risk can be eliminated only if the declarant in the cease and desist in the case of a further infringement committed to pay a reasonable penalty. Otherwise, the Declaration of discontinuance may be rejected by the rights holder. On the enforcement of a claim for damages, the Declaration has no effect. The enforcement will remain as before. To eliminate the risk and to avoid court proceedings, never issued the Declaration included in the warning. A modified explanations, a so-called modified Cease and desist, is suitable to eliminate the risk of repetition, as long as the declarant is committed itself, that criticized behavior refrain and the Declaration is sufficiently decreed him.
