Online law: networks, copyright, youth protection

📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

The internet is not lawless: copyright — downloading films via torrents means a warning letter ~€800–1,500 (Waldorf Frommer watches). Photos of others without consent breach personality rights. Slander and insult online are like offline. Youth protection: under 18 no adult content, distribution up to 2 years. Screenshots of private chats — publishing without consent is an offence.

●Abmahnung: got the letter — do not ignore it, get a lawyer for ~€150–300
●NetzDG: report insults/threats — the platform must remove them
●Do not post others’ selfies without asking: the right to one’s image

📵 The German "Abmahnwesen" is a fine industry: law firms catch torrent users en masse and send ~€1,000 letters. Streaming is legal — torrents are not.
