Second, for the case of non-bogus complaints (under German law) it makes sense (usually) for us to comply with them out of the interest of maximal reusability. This is a huge grey area, but for example the German Wikipedia policy of "no fair use" seems sensible to me.
This one I find particularly bizarre, because languages are hardly confined within countries---there are plenty of German editors on en:, which permits fair use, and plenty of non-German editors on de:, which doesn't.
