No, I completely disagree. It is not a matter of simple or not simple. It is a matter of principle. You don't give in to terrorists that you don't believe are right.

We'll see what happens if they lose on appeal; I suspect that they'll find a way to allow the German people access to most of the rest of their library once the publicity value of the global block has run its course. I don't blame them for this at all, BTW; it's smart strategy.

Absolutely not. In the case that PG loses on the highest level of appeal I hope they will flip them a bird and remove all restrictions including the 18 books in question. Good luck enforcing it.
