You can just used a DNS server which is not inside of Germany. Or you retrieve the IP from somewhere and setup your local hosts file or whatever. That was the point why this law provoked the biggest petition in the history of the country.
It does not really help against the matter it is directed at. It just establishes an infrastructure to be used for censorship in general. And no doubt that it will be used for much more than child pornography soon...

Soon there will be requests to block websites of other parties, online gambling, torrents... possibilites are endless.
