(Of course I’m going to stop, but my server has been blocked by Hetzner, would like to recover it XD)
What a tricksy thieving hobbit you are! /s
You’ll be fine. Stop seeding the thing they don’t like and increase your security—VPN, seedbox, private trackers, etc. If anybody asks, you had an asshole neighbor kid who guessed your WiFi password.
Edit: just realized that you were using a server with Hetzner—Germany is one of the worst places for torrenting. Get a server in a friendlier country for that.
Just do what they asked you to do. Remove the torrents, it’s not like they are threatening legal action. They are actually asking pretty nicely.
In the future, use a VPN.
First time I got one, it was for pirating Pirates of Silicon Valley and the irony was fucking incredible
They can’t tell if you still have the files or not.
I am not saying remove the files, just the torrent (as in stop seeding).
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.

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.
This. Make the bastards chase you.
Use a VPN
Don’t respond.
Ignore it and use a good VPN
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.
I use Luxembourg. No issues for years.
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.
VPN is your best friend, also don’t host a piracy server over a hoster within EU…
Don’t respond
Stop seeding the torrents they mention. Use a VPN, verify it is bound to your torrent client.

They did say don’t delete anything and my lack of legal knowledge prevents me from saying confidently to what extent they really can do that, but I strongly suspect that if push came to shove you couldn’t really get in to trouble for deleting things given you could well never have received the email or had some kind of a problem with the system causing you to lose data, however you can bet that your plausible deniability would be greatly constrained if you respond, therefore acknowledging that you have seen their request that you not delete things.
Your reading skills are horrible. The law firm needs to keep all records regarding their evidence in this matter. OP isn’t being compelled to keep anything.
Thanks. Deleted
You don’t reply, just stop sharing publicly.
