As the firm came on the IP addresses of tens of thousands of users of porn portal Redtube.com? Behind two of the companies involved the same persons? Numerous oddities cast doubt on legitimate action by the Abmahner arise.
tens of thousands of people have been warned in recent weeks from the law firm Urmann and colleagues from Regensburg, because they should have looked at the porn portal Redtube.com copyrighted movies. Meantime, however opposing lawyers and many people ask on the net the question of whether much rather the sender of the warning are not the bad guys in this case.
addition to the firm Urmann is behind the warning wave of the Berlin lawyer Daniel Sebastian, the Swiss company The archives that will keep the rights to the erotic films, and the company itGuards that should have managed IP addresses to monitor porn gazers , though this date was almost impossible on a video portal like Redtube.
first doubts about the correct behavior of the Abmahner came because the lawyers, not clear in their letter to the district court of Cologne, which has to authorize the publication of IP addresses that it is a video portal at Redtube, and not, as is usual in such cases, an illegal download site on the web. The District Court of Cologne waved the vast majority of applications by, so that the law firm Urmann could begin with the warnings.

Since then, hundreds have made to the research on the net. The anger at the Abmahner is large, streamed films are not only popular in the porn area. And IP addresses look on the net a lot as part of their privacy. One, who looks more closely now, is the IT expert Klemens Kowalski from Buxtehude, who reports under kowabit.de, what has struck him. For example, the websites of The Archive and itGuards may have been created by the same person. itGuards called on the company website an American address as the registered office. Inquiries by mail ignores the company, a phone number does not seem to exist. The company has been established according to the corporate directory Bizapedia only in March, during the same period, were in the websites of The Archive and registered online. Leave this and other technical details suggest that the company may not have separate companies, although The Archive is officially registered in the Swiss Bassersdorf. There was no one on Friday to reach by phone.
the Berlin lawyer Daniel Sebastian currently provides no information. On Wednesday he sent a general opinion in which it says that the IP addresses of the Abgemahnt had been identified by the company itGuard with the software “Gladii 1.1.3″. How this is to be done exactly, is unclear. The Munich-based firm Diehl and partners who created the software to an opinion wants legal reasons to answer any questions. Also, as it was not possible, the software itGuard to examine legal in March a day after the founding of the American manufacturing company.
The only one who manifested on the part of Abmahner, is a lawyer Thomas Urmann. He sees “only as a lawyer, not as IT-experts.” Therefore, he could not answer the questions about itGuards, software, and The Archive. His practice also ship only the warnings on the shared by the court addresses of users.
