One publishing company is threatening to file case against me One publishing company is threatening to file case against me

Respected advisors, In 2019 January I started a youtube channel and in the month of July 2019 I created a telegram group to share problems and solutions and to gather students in one place. Some student were not able to buy books because of financial issues hence i found some pdf of 3 books on google and shared once in the group. Then after sometime I got disconnected from group and was not so active. Suddenly in last week I got copyright strikes on my youtube channel by publishing company that I have shared their books illegally. They are asking me to pay 3,00,000/- but I am from poor financial background and currently studying. Please advise me . I think I had shared only 2 or 3 times.
