Warning letter from the law firm WeSaveYourCopyrights Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH in relation to the song The Power of Love

WeSaveYourCopyrights Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH from Frankfurt am Main is currently issuing a warning letter on behalf of the songwriter Mary Applegate for the musical work "Jennifer Rush - The Power of Love".

In the context of these warnings, WeSaveYourCopyrights Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH demands on the one hand the submission of a cease-and-desist declaration subject to penalty as well as the reimbursement of the costs incurred by the warning.

The majority of file-sharing warnings have the following content: The law firm issuing the warning offers an out-of-court settlement in such a way that the warned party submits a cease-and-desist declaration with a penalty clause and pays a settlement amount. In order to increase the pressure on the warned party, particularly short deadlines are set.

However, most cease-and-desist declarations inadmissibly refer to the entire repertoire of the artist or songwriter and the amount of the settlement offer is usually set far too high.

Under no circumstances should such a cease-and-desist declaration be signed without verification and the settlement amount paid immediately.

In most cases, it is therefore worth commissioning a lawyer with the defence against the warning letter.

If you have received a warning letter, you are welcome to contact us and receive an initial estimate of the costs of our representation.
