A German Court Drew the Piracy Line at 81.5%, KinoGO Was Blocked with (at least) 82.4%

“The illegal content on the websites far outweighs the legal content. This is the case in any event when at least 81.5% of the website’s content is illegal.”

A site got blocked for clearing a threshold by nine tenths of a percentage point. CUII then clarified that 81.5% “is not a fixed quantitative limit,” which is the tell. The number exists to make the decision look arithmetic instead of discretionary. Nobody audits how the percentage gets calculated, and the entity doing the calculating is the industry group asking for the block.
