In der Affäre um die Massenabmahnungen der Regensburger Rechtsanwaltskanzlei Urmann + Collegen veröffentlicht das Team von Abmahnhelfer.de die Stellungnahme des RedTube Mutterkonzerns Manwin.
Seit Beginn des Monats hatte die auf Abmahnungen spezialisierte Rechtsanwaltskanzlei mehrere Tausend Anschlussinhaber wegen des Vorwurfs vermeintlicher Urheberrechtsverletzungen auf dem Pornostreamingportal „redtube.com“ abgemahnt und neben der Abgabe einer strafbewehrten Unterlassungserklärung die Zahlung von 250,- Euro verlangt. Das Team von Abmahnhelfer.de vertritt rund 600 Betroffene Anschlussinhaber in der Angelegenheit.
Noch ist offen, wie das Unternehmen itGuards Inc. an die IP-Adressen der Betroffenen gelangte. Die Kanzlei VON RUEDEN hatte vergangene Woche Strafanzeige gegen verantwortliche Personen erstattet und dadurch Ermittlungen der Staatsanwaltschaft ausgelöst. Rechtsanwalt Johannes von Rüden zeigte sich wenig überrascht von der eindeutigen Distanzierung aus Kanada gegenüber den Abmahnanwälten.
