I guess you're referring to this: "The view of PGLAF is that it is up to the rights owner in Germany to identify people there who are infringing on its copyrights, and pursue remediation there. It is not up to PGLAF to police or defend the rights of entities in different countries. Because PGLAF operates as a legitimate non-profit organization, however, it is appropriate to act as the German Court ordered - pending appeal - even though it disagrees with the order." This explains that they decided to comply because they are operating a "legitimate non-profit organization," which isn't a satisfying reason. Legitimate non-profits outside of Germany, with no business in Germany, which are 100% based in the US, and have received no orders from American courts should be happy to ignore foreign courts. Again, I'm not a lawyer, but even paying someone to translate a German court order, let alone paying German lawyers to represent you, would seem like a very generous thing to do in the face of "orders" from a court that can't punish you for noncompliance. If I received a German court order, I would throw it away as an obvious mistake, since there's no reason on Earth why I should need to read it. In any case, the specific question I was curious about is not addressed in the page. If nobody else knows, then speculation probably isn't needed, but it's fun!
