We (the German authors) are bound to German law, since the page is directed at an major German readership (Schutzlandprinzip). But we also have to take care of US-law, since the servers are hosted inside the US. The later applies for the content the WMF hosts, not for us German contributers. But to be nice, we consider US-law as well.
Tobias, that I can understand. What I don't understand is why one should call emijrp stupid instead of explaining that this is a German Wikipedia rule ment to protect the majority of users users from inadvertently breaking the law of their country.
And I still don't understand why you called that example "stupid".
