Came to post this. For an informed opinion on the issue of "Fliegender Gerichtsstand" (essentially, choose where to bring your case) I can recommend Vetter's blog post on the Erdogan/Böhmermann situation [1, German]. LG Hamburg is sadly infamous for this kind of decisions. It can and, based on the research in TFA likely will be, reigned in by higher courts, but this costs money, time and causes a lot of stress on the defendant. I applaud them for standing up to this decision. The law firm (Rasch) in this case is also no stranger to copyright and piracy dealings. If you search for its name you find websites dealing with their "Abmahnungen" (roughly Cease & Desist) [2, German].
