Project Gutenberg blocks access from Germany
Fabulous :S The second time in 6 months German courts violated the public interest and ruled in favour of vested corporate intrests with an affect on me:<p>* In late 2017, a useless commercial weather forecast outlet (aggregating its data itself from national institutations!) sued the German National Weather service into having to take down its free weather app from the Apple and Goole app stores (development and operations funded with tax payer money!) and charge a fee for it. Somehow the judges got convinced that the Service unduly competed with a third-rate commercial information service.<p>* In early 2018, the courts lock out the public from a vast aggregate of literature in the public domain.<p>I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;ll have a fresh item to continue the list soon.
