I have this on all my warning pages .....

So, someone in Germany reads that and it DOES violate the community standards of their country ....... legally, can Germany go after someone from another country?

I know Germany has extremely strict laws about what you can send via the mail. You can't send any material that is sexual, even r-rated, unless you send it to a registered business.

i don't think that anyone from Germany will go after someone from another country. If you are not a german, not hosting in Germany and not using .de domains nothing will happen. No one can tell you not to make websites in german language.

and such disclaimer you are using are not worth the webspace - they're bullshit. are you a german and living in Germany? than you have to follow the law and use an AVS (which is btw the biggest nonsense ever). If you are not living in Germany fuck the german laws.
