That's all well and good, except this is a German court case and the DMCA doesn't apply.

I'm not American either, but law precedents are contagious, once enough judges think it's reasonable, others start to as well, even across borders. A lot of the world runs on Scottish common law at base. If you really want to get to root causes, I'd go with greed, the tendency of the rich to seek rent, and Late Stage Capitalism.
