Then you haven't heard yet about the Courts of Cologne and Hamburg.

They are quite famous for creative bullshit rulings with regards to copyright, DRM and other digital stuff they pretend to not understand.

Like "Adblockers are illegal because they bypass DRM"

Munich court is terrible. A disgrace to democracy. They also allow terrorizing of citizens for "copyright infringement" through siding with Movie industry. All ISPs just hand over your personal data to these copyright trolls no questions asked. They literally surveil everyone's Internet unchecked to extort people for money

Like so many current trends in Germany and Europe. But the US is not better when it comes to IP rights and rulings. There is so much misuse of patent- and copyright and the legislature simply allows this to happen. That's what I would call government failure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_failure).
