Is this a limited case? In general I've heard that Berlin is pretty happening place for privacy activists these days. Kinda makes me scratch my head to read this.
Germany is very privacy positive. Majority of the weird internet laws generally come around because of the countries privacy laws. That is why it's got a big privacy activist scene. And that case seems basic Copyright, where in Germany the work is still copyrighted so the copyright owner went to court to enforce it. This seems pretty standard and expected.
