it is NOT illegal in germany, to either leach and/or seed torrents. No one get's arrested for doing that and if some one is telling this, he just forgot to mention, that he probably did something different, than leeching and seeding and got arrested for this!!!

Although speedmaster is correct that no one in Germany can be arrested for file sharing, uploading a copyrighted file is unambiguously illegal in Germany, as is downloading (although there are some rare exceptions for downloading copyrighted files for personal use). To find people who are illegally sharing files in Germany, law firms hire companies who monitor torrent traffic for copyrighted items — popular films, music, games, and porn are specifically tracked. These firms find IP addresses that originate in Germany, and then trace them back to an ISP such as Deutsche Telekom or Vodafone, who are then obligated by law to give up the name and address of the person who was using the IP address at the time of the offence.[nb]Michael Filtz, File-sharing in Germany: Could the cost of getting caught be about to come down?

Your risk is negligible depending on whom you're staying with while in Germany. A ruling published in 2014 by the Bundesgerichtshof concluded a matter dating back to 2006 brought by several leading recording labels against an account holder said to have been sharing a total of 3,749 songs online. The judgment held that when an account holder allows adult family members to use his or her Internet connection, those adults are responsible for their own actions when online and do not have to be ‘educated’ by the person paying the bill. If, however, the account holder is made aware that infringements may have been carried out (after receiving a warning letter for example), he or she is then obliged to take measures to ensure that further infringements are prevented, meaning you could theoretically download at will while the person whose ISP you use would be held harmless.[nb]Andy, Court: ISP Subscribers Not Liable For Pirating Family Members, Torrentfreak.com, January 9, 2014, https://torrentfreak.com/court-isp-subscribers-not-liable-for-pirating-family-140109/[/nb]
