Am I missing something here? The link you give talks about states enforcing the judgements of other US states and territories, not judgements from outside the US. Foreign judgement is a bit confusing, but the article says "A judgment rendered in a "sister" state or a territory of the U.S. is also referred to as a "foreign judgment." I believe that matters having to do with external to the US judgements are handled in Federal court and it depends if the US and the country in question have a treaty dealing with court judgements. I suspect there is a treaty between the US and Germany.

There's still www.projekt.gutenberg.de which is not officially connected to the US Project Gutenberg.

A big difference between the American and the German sites is that the latter doesn't offer books for download. You have to read them on-screen - unless you convert them to epub with this nice online tool:

www.epub2go.eu

And I'm surprised that your url works. I always thought it was http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/ -- weirdly, the sites seem to be identical.

I got the URL from the court decision doc.

Oh, right. I remember reading it there and smiling to myself that they hadn't even got that right. Eating humble pie for lunch...

The addresses are both right. One server can have multiple urls associated. If you look up names, it can also list multiple servers to the same URL - they are usually setup as mirrors and internally lookup the same database.

ETA: looking up the names gives both the ipv4 address 176.9.143.250 with the ..spiegel.de being the main.

The English translation was published as The Secret Book or The Second Book. I don't know what triggered the difference in titles.
I don't know what the German title was.

It was an interesting read.
