When are people going to realize that you can't (shouldn't be able to) sue people like Google. The internet is a virtual reality. Hosting servers are the physical space of this reality. The files were put there by people, not by Google or YouTube. I know it's an old argument, but certainly still prevalent: Would you sue the manufacturers of inkjet printers because people are counterfeiting currency? It's quite ridiculous what Germany is doing. If you don't like it, block YouTube. See how your citizens react and tell me if it was a good idea.
