I'd move hosts. Frantech will ignore dmca requests if you get a Luxembourg slot. Or move to feralhosting. They're based in the Netherlands.

Print it out, wipe your butt with it, scan it, send it back

There was a post here not long time ago about faking your own death and starting new life in another country. Read it. Apply it.

I've had a few of these. They can really get the heart racing but I was always too chicken shit to even do anything. Nothing ever came of it.

Bro, try to enjoy your next family affair. They're going to turn you into a psa on why pirating is unhealthy.

You should probably stop using windows too bc Microsoft will freely work with lawyers in fleshing out your case of piracy. So be sure to turn off windows updates and disable all telemetry updates as well.

If I were you, I'd spin up whatever os you wish to use in a virtual environment that is disposable and use it from now on with a vpn.

Also, if you have any smart features in your home, be sure to toss them out in the garbage bc they are listening... and probably watching. So put some tape over your webcam on your computer.

Remember to reset your router too bro... they might be in that shit... Intel inside, yanno the saying right?

No more TV for atleast a month and especially if you only use streaming services like spotify, Disney +, Netflix and so on.

Best wishes to you my friend... ya might consider going off grid too just to be safe.

Good Luck! ❤️

I think Hetzner wants you to tell them you've removed it. They did as requested and took down the VPS and disabled it. It's now in your hands.

I myself wouldn't ignore such a letter. It's now just asking you politely. If you continue they need to make the choice if it's worth pursuing you. I don't have any good insight if and under what circumstances they do. I would comply, remove said content and probably not reply to them. It's unlikely to make it better for you if you talk to people targeting you. And I wouldn't keep the logs around as they requested. Accidents happen, files get deleted, nobody is perfect.

But you obviously need to talk to Hetzner.

Hetzner Online seems to be their company name. The one the letter is sent to.

hetzner is a large hosting company in germany.

Yeah. Hetzner is the hosting company. They are the owner of the IP range and thus get the letters. They forward it to their customers, in this case OP. And the letter seems to be from one of those shady companies that scan the torrent swarms for Intellectual Property of their customers and then write letters to the abuse contacts of the IP addresses of the offenders. I don't know where OP lives, but Hetzner is big in Germany, so it's probably german law we're talking about. And we're not very liberal with copyright infringement, should that escalate to that point.

This sounds like a question for an IP lawyer, not an internet forum.
