I had a roommate once that didn't pay her rent before moving out. Sued her and she got several letters, including the invitation to the court date. She ignored them. Default ruling in my favour, they seized €900 from her bank account.
So yeah, some threats are quite real without the cops having to show up.
That is a very different case from piracy.
The point is that civil cases usually don't involve the cops but can still have consequences.
I'll add a clarification to my comment then, because I specifically meant the kinds of threats this post is about.
No, it's exactly the same way Germany treats the threats this post is about. They send a warning, you ignore it. Then they sue you, you ignore it, they get a default ruling and subtract money from your bank account.
It's literally exactly what they do for piracy
