A warning letter for file sharing from the law firm Nimrod refers to a warning letter sent by the law firm on behalf of a client to a person who has allegedly committed copyright infringements through file sharing. File sharing is a method of file exchange over the Internet in which users make files available on their computers for download by other users.

As a rule, the Nimrod warning letter contains a request to cease and desist from the alleged activity, a claim for damages as well as the payment of legal fees and, if applicable, the submission of a cease and desist declaration with penalty clause. The aim of the warning letter is to reach an out-of-court settlement in order to avoid a legal dispute.

Structure of a Nimrod warning letter

Nimrod's warning letters are standardized and are similar except for the variable data of the persons concerned and the amount of the sums demanded.

The warning letter begins with a brief description of the matter, naming the client and the computer game concerned. It then lists the details of the infringement, including the file name, the hash value, the IP address allegedly used, the time of the download and the file number of the authorization procedure that allowed the internet service provider to hand over the connection owner data to the Nimrod law firm.

The letter also contains a list of claims, whereby the payment claims are initially set very high. The alleged damages are put at 2,500 euros. The lawyer's fees are said to amount to 1,239.40 euros. It is then offered to waive the enforcement of these claims in the amount stated if the comparatively lower amount of 850 euros is paid, which is offered in most of the warning letters known to us.

Who is Nimrod warning?

In the past, the law firm "Nimrod Rechtsanwälte" has issued warnings for copyright infringements on behalf of its clients, in particular in connection with file sharing. If a connection holder receives such a warning, he may be accused of offering a copyrighted file, such as a computer game, for public download via his Internet access. The law firm has many years of experience in representing its clients and is particularly well known for its work in file-sharing warnings in connection with PC games and software.

For whom does Nimrod issue warnings?

In the area of file sharing, the law firm is primarily active for well-known computer game manufacturers. Nimrod issues warnings for downloading games via file-sharing networks. The companies represented by the law firm Nimrod include:

  • Astragon Sales & Services GmbH
  • Astragon Entertainment GmbH
  • Aerosoft GmbH
  • Rondomedia Marketing & Vertriebs GmbH
  • Daedalic Entertainment GmbH

Should I sign the cease-and-desist declaration?

A cease-and-desist declaration is a legal declaration in which you undertake to refrain from the behavior that was the subject of the warning letter in the future.

If you have committed the copyright infringement mentioned in the warning letter, you should generally submit a cease-and-desist declaration in order to prevent further legal action. However, you should always ensure that the declaration is worded correctly and does not contain any excessive demands. It is advisable to consult a lawyer in this case.

If you have not committed the alleged copyright infringement or have doubts about the legality of the warning, you should be careful and, if necessary, seek advice from a lawyer before submitting a cease-and-desist declaration. A false cease-and-desist declaration can be expensive under certain circumstances and have legal consequences.

Should I submit a modified cease-and-desist declaration?

Lawyers often recommend that their clients submit a modified cease-and-desist declaration in order to defend themselves against cease-and-desist letters. However, this is wrong, because even the modified cease-and-desist declaration obliges you to pay a contractual penalty in the event of an infringement. This puts you at considerable financial risk, especially if you do not know the perpetrator of the infringement and therefore cannot prevent further infringements of the cease-and-desist agreement from being committed.

A modified cease-and-desist declaration also does not protect against financial claims. It merely fulfills the claim for injunctive relief and obliges the other party to adhere to the contract. You should therefore seek advice from a competent lawyer and examine possible alternatives to the modified cease-and-desist declaration in order to defend yourself against future warnings in the best possible way.

Why was I warned by Nimrod?

In the event of an alleged copyright infringement in connection with the unauthorized download of copyrighted software or PC games via the internet connection of the connection owner, it can happen that the owner is warned by Nimrod Rechtsanwälte. According to the latest warning letters from Nimrod Rechtsanwälte, the recipient is accused of not only downloading file fragments but also making them available to third parties at the same time. Users who used the corresponding software at the same time thus theoretically had access to the copyrighted content, such as popular PC games. On behalf of their client, the "Nimrod Rechtsanwälte" are demanding a lump sum settlement and the submission of a cease-and-desist declaration with a penalty clause in the event of such a copyright infringement.

Where did Nimrod get my address?

According to the warning letter from Nimrod, the law firm was commissioned by computer game manufacturers such as Astragon Sales & Services to monitor file-sharing networks. It is supported in this by a technical service provider that uses software to store the IP address of the warned party and the hash value of the computer game file in question, which was assigned by the internet provider of the warned party at the time. The IP address then becomes the subject of a so-called information procedure, in which the law firm Nimrod applies to the competent district court of the respective internet provider for the disclosure of the address data behind the IP address.

"The IP address stated in the warning letter
is incorrect."

We regularly hear this objection in our initial consultations. This is due to the fact that many internet providers assign dynamic IP addresses, i.e. the IP address changes regularly. If the warning letter was sent due to an outdated IP address, it is possible that the IP address was actually assigned to a different person at the time of the alleged infringement.

What claims are asserted with the Nimrod warning letter?

1. claim for injunctive relief

The warned party is requested to submit a declaration to cease and desist with penalty clause. A draft is already enclosed with the letter. There is a deadline for submitting a cease-and-desist declaration, which you must observe and take seriously.

2. compensation for damages

In the further course, you will then be informed that the damages are calculated according to the principles of the so-called license analogy. In addition, you must bear the costs of commissioning Nimrod Rechtsanwälte.

3. settlement offer

In the further course of the warning letter, a claim of several thousand euros is calculated. Since, according to Nimrod, this sum would lead to a financial overload on your part, you will be made a settlement offer of EUR 850.00 or higher.

Do I have to fulfill the requirements?

In any case, you must take action. You will always be given a deadline that you must observe. Do not let this pass. Otherwise you risk Nimrod Rechtsanwälte asserting the claims in court. This procedure would involve higher costs for you. Always bear in mind that you may not have to fulfil the claims arising from the Nimrod claim. We therefore advise you not to sign anything without checking it. Have the letter checked by a lawyer - we will be happy to do this for you.

We also advise against contacting the law firm issuing the warning. If you contact the law firm and its lawyers, you risk disclosing valuable information that would be beneficial for your legal defense.

Received a reminder notice, lawsuit or temporary injunction from
Nimrod?

If you receive a reminder notice, a lawsuit or an interim injunction, this means that deadlines have not been met. You must take action now at the latest, otherwise it will only get more expensive. Remember that the deadlines set by the court must also be taken seriously. If these are missed, a court decision will be issued, which will incur costs in any case.
