They can go for the ISPs, or push for some German law to restrict local access. Doesn't mean they should, though.

Again, said ISPs are US-based, and the only precedent for blocking in the US is DMCA, which considers these works public domain.

I'm referring to local ISPs that German users use to access the Internet. Presumably the court can order them to block access to resources.
