It's just that nearly everyone ignores it. As much as I understood the new law actually tried to get rid of that stupid rule and replace it with voluntary age labels which then could be used or ignored by filter-software. The problem starts that this "voluntary labels" are not so 100% voluantary it seems and no one really understands the law anyway (I asked a lot of people which are affected by it - and not one really got a clue and could tell me what the law exactly means, especially for game companies. I even tried understanding the original text, but no fucking chance without a lawyer). As much as I understood it would have forced commercial websites to name a responsible person for the "Jugendschutz" (youth protection). And no one really could tell me - but I think those persons who can be responsible might have to be validated in some way (like USK for games), which would in effect have been a sort of censorship (and expensive when releasing games). But ianal - so it could be I got that wrong as well. For now I'm against this law simply because I don't understand it. Explain laws better that effect me dear politicians! And if this law indeed enforces USK-labels for games, then I guess it just means another blow to the german game industry as many games will simply be offered only on foreign servers from there on.[/quote]
