This law is way too easy to abuse.
Source: have been through many copyright claims and currently have a supreme court lawsuit pending.
Lawyers win either way, via the fines that they ask for (people are scared that this could escalate and just pay), or the fees to fight the fines (usually a letter highlighting the situation that personal information was obtained without a court order). So they have all the incentive to propagate the practice.
A court order is not supposed to be automated because it's exceedingly simple to make it output whatever you want while still claiming good faith.
this should be considered a release into the public domain, an invitaion to use the file at no charge.

this should be some form of racketeering [trolling isnt strong enough lable]
The shady part is where they can just go to the ISP and request the personal customer information associated to an IP they believe is transferring the infringing content.
In Germany the law allows lawyers to ask and get this info from the ISP purely based on suspicion. This is the dirty secret related to how Germany enforces piracy laws. Getting internet access is predicated by accepting that this information will be passed on to private third parties (imagine getting internet access only if you agree to send your identity to Facebook if they want to check you are not violating FB rules by using a fake name).
Between this and the fact that a lawsuit is expensive and time consuming, they probably never pursue minor infringement in court if they get a counter from the user's lawyer.
