You must have missed this part:

> The ruling directs the website to stop providing IP addresses to Google and threatens the site operator with a fine of €250,000 for each violation, or up to six months in prison, for continued improper use of Google Fonts.

So, if you feel brave you can challenge some courts on this.

No, I didn't miss that part. "Next time, I'll really punish you" rarely works until there's actual consequences.
