Achim lives in Germany, so is very much subject to German law. He's
equally subject to German law if he edits the English Wikipedia,
though. There is no connection between a particular language Wikipedia
and the law of a country that speaks that language.

The OP said that the French Wikipedia was illegal, not that
contributing to Wikipedia while in France could be illegal. They are
very different things.
