Seems to me that if Germany wants to block its inhabitants from accessing something that is legal elsewhere, then it is Germany that needs to do the blocking.
It's kind of like China and their copying of US products (they copy other countries as well, I'm just using "US" here for ease of typing). China makes cheap imitations and sells them for less. Often times making their product look so superficially like the real product as to make it hard to tell the difference without close inspection. Do the US producers like that? Certainly not. But US laws against such behavior are not enforceable in China.
What if someone like North Korea decided that their people are not allowed to read books (they may have already done this - wouldn't surprise me). Does that mean that US eBook companies would have to block all North Korean IP addresses as a result? (Forget for the moment that very few in North Korea have internet access, and those that do, probably can't get outside of the North Korean infrastructure in the first place.)
