Lawyer request stop from downloading Debian

[Stefan Hirschmann <krasnoj@gmx.at>]

Hi!

Today I noticed a strang forum posting: [1]

Short English summary:
-------------------------
A lawyer from Augsburg, Germany sent a "Abmahnung" [2] to a person which 
  downloaded Debian using Bittorrent.
The company "Media Art Holland b.v" claimed that she has the "Nutzungs 
und Verwertungsrechte" (something like distribution rights).

The lawyer wants the poster to pay 700 Euro and stop uploading of Debian.
-------------------------

My opion is that this behavior is not good for Debian's reputation and 
the project should take legal action against the lawyer and this company.
