Most cases aren't taken to court. Courts have decided against these firms in the past and the general climate is turning against them. I've got similar claims (but only 500€) and the lawyer firm stopped bothering me after I've said I'm running a freifunk.net router (which I'm doing) - freifunk.net are having a "war" cash depot and want to go to the BVerG to end finally end this madness.

If it's Waldorf and Frommer tell them you are cooperating the freifunkstattangst.de and mail them. They dropped at least my case out of fear (or rather tactics on their behalf).
It's a scare game these lawyers are playing. It's ridiciolous that this is still a thing. However most lawyers are profiting of it and the majority of Bundestag members are lawyers. For a (kind of unfair) comparison see here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechtsberatungsgesetz#Geschich...
The new law is btw. not helping at all. It's lobbying by said lawfirms that bother you and me and in practice things likely will turn out worse. See http://freifunkstattangst.de/2015/09/16/die-bundesregierung-... for details.
