I think you may have mised something.

Nintendo of Europe is bound by German law because it is headquartered there so all its operations in an online capacity are restricted to German law.

Other companies are not HQ'd there so the German law only applies to their sales in Germany.


Yeah, I'm still a bit confused. So...

1) Company A: Based in Germany, has to follow German laws for every country.

2) Company B: Based in UK, only has to follow German laws in Germany.

 

I don't understand that. Why do they have to follow German laws for distribution outside Germany? In the first scenario, it seems like the only law that matters is Germany's, since it's upheld then across all of EU. In the second example, only German laws are enforced in Germany, which makes sense.

i think the only reason for the whole problem could be that you always have to follow the stricter law.

so, uk company in germany has to follow german law in germany because it's stricter as uk law. german company in uk has to follow german law even in uk for the same reason, german law is stricter for that.

that could be an european agreement or something.

there should be still ways because hundreds of other companies can also give us adult material here without that problem with 11pm.
