You got the decision wrong.

@John Leyden

You got the decision wrong. The fine is only limited to 100€ if the violation/infringement of copyrighted material fells under the facts of the § 97a II UrhG (German Copyright Law).

This is the case e.g. in the decision your article refers to, because it was just 1 (one) downloaded and distributed song. It is not the case if e.g. one complete album or a movie file etc. has been downloaded and shared. then the fine is not limited by a certain upper limit.

At least one person in the EU. The swift-agreement and the regarding decision-making-process was one of the biggest failures in EU history.
