I downloaded a song for my kid 15ish years ago and Telekom tracked it to me so I got a fine.

    First time? That seems excessive.

    I hope you joking but if not holy shit. Don't they hand out warnings a bunch of times before hitting your bank? I am in the states BTW

    15 years ago? That can't be true

    Edit: the way it was written, I understood it as being prosecuted 15 years after the download. That indeed is impossible and never happened
