At least Wikipedia content is still accessible in Germany. Because of a German court order to regarding some of their items[0] Project Gutenberg blocks German access to _all_ of their books. Now for more than a year. I sympathize with them but a total block seems a bit heavy handed, punishing all of Germany for a maybe poor decision. Guess this was the simplest way to respond given the resources they have. Curious to see how this is going to play out in the end.

Seems unreasonable. [0]. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16511038 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16511038
