It's false though. The court says German law applies because German users can access the site. German language is only briefly mentioned, but not the argument of the court.

How do you think so? From the court order:

"Hierfür spricht, dass die Webseite teilweise in Deutsch gehalten ist, dass auf der Seite Werke in deutscher Sprache angeboten werden [...]"

And there are even more arguments by the prosecutor which go beyond "accessible from Germany".
