[pp.int.general] Companies that trap and sue P2P users in Germany

[Richard Stallman]

I'm told there are companies that set traps for P2P sharers in Germany,
and then send threatening letters saying they will sue if the victims
don't immediately pay 1000 euros.

Does anyone here know anything about this?  For instance, can
those companies really win if they sue?
