In July 2016, German computer magazine ''[[LinuxUser]]'' reported that a German blogger, Christoph Langner, used two {{nowrap|CC BY}}-licensed photographs from Berlin photographer Dennis Skley on his private blog Linuxundich.  Langner duly mentioned the author and the license and added a link to the original.  Langner was later contacted by the {{lang|de|Verband zum Schutz geistigen Eigentums im Internet|italics=yes}} (VGSE) (Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property in the Internet) with a demand for €2300 for failing to provide the full name of the work, the full name of the author, the license text, and a source link, as is required by the fine print in the license. Of this sum, €40 was to go to the photographer, with the remainder retained by VGSE.<ref name="Luther-2016">{{Cite journal |last=Luther |first=Jörg |date=July 2016 |title=Kleingedrucktes – Editorial |trans-title=Fine print – Editorial |url=http://www.linux-community.de/Internal/Artikel/Print-Artikel/LinuxUser/2016/07/Kleingedrucktes |url-status=live |journal=[[LinuxUser]] |language=de |issn=1615-4444 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160915150620/http://www.linux-community.de/Internal/Artikel/Print-Artikel/LinuxUser/2016/07/Kleingedrucktes |archive-date=September 15, 2016 |access-date=2016-09-09 |number=7/2016 |df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="Feil Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft-2014">{{Cite web |date=8 January 2014 |title=Abmahnung des Verbandes zum Schutz geistigen Eigentums im Internet (VSGE) |trans-title=Notice to cease and desist from the Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property in the Internet (VSGE) |url=https://www.recht-freundlich.de/abmahnung-urheberrechtlich-filesharing/abmahnung-des-verbandes-zum-schutz-geistigen-eigentums-im-internet-vsge |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914075031/https://www.recht-freundlich.de/abmahnung-urheberrechtlich-filesharing/abmahnung-des-verbandes-zum-schutz-geistigen-eigentums-im-internet-vsge |archive-date=September 14, 2016 |access-date=2016-09-09 |publisher=Feil Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft |language=de |location=Hannover, Germany |df=mdy-all}}</ref> The Higher Regional Court of Cologne dismissed the claim in May 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |date=22 May 2019 |title=Creative Commons-Foto-Abmahnung: Rasch Rechtsanwälte setzen erfolgreich Gegenansprüche durch |trans-title=Creative Commons photo notice: Rasch attorneys successfully enforce counterclaims |url=https://www.anwalt.de/rechtstipps/creative-commons-foto-abmahnung-rasch-rechtsanwaelte-setzen-erfolgreich-gegenansprueche-durch_155491.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191219023851/https://www.anwalt.de/rechtstipps/creative-commons-foto-abmahnung-rasch-rechtsanwaelte-setzen-erfolgreich-gegenansprueche-durch_155491.html |archive-date=December 19, 2019 |access-date=18 December 2019 |website=anwalt.de |language=de}}</ref>
