You quietly comply. Then take tougher security measures to protect yourself before continuing. Do not respond under any circumstances. If you’re served with actual legal papers, retain an attorney.
That’s just how legalese is written. It’s like variables in programming they tell you what the thing is and then they tell you what they’re going to call it for the rest of the document.
I guess it originally saved them hand writing “B&H Film, Video and Television Media Production LLC” every time. Of course these days you could just do a fine and a replace, so I’m not sure why they don’t, but it’s just become standard lawyer at this point.
Given that it’s Hetzner, there’s not much you can do besides telling them “oops sorry didn’t know this was illegal” and proceed using a VPN on your seedbox, go private tracker or just use a different hoster. Hetzner isn’t a big fan of torrenting since they have the (german) feds in their neck.
Proton VPN stopped the stupid copy right infringement letters from my ISP. Make sure you look up servers that don’t report or respond to requests from companies that request such information from ISP’s.
Never use a service that requires you to share the files you downloaded to pirate, not without a VPN. As you’ve might have noticed, their complaint is for distribution, not downloading. That’s where they get you.
Say nothing. Stop sharing or seeding. But, above all, say nothing. You’re getting phished. Just comply and stop seeding the shit. Keep quiet. If you reply you’ll just have problems that cost money.
If you just want a Seedbox, head over to giga-rapid.
If you wanted a compute box which happens to pirate, you’re going to have to alternate between providers periodically, change accounts, cards etc. I would personally like to have an automated setup to spin up machines across VPSes and accounts (some Ansible, Shell and cron should do it) but haven’t got there yet
