This is funny (who cares about what do they speak in porn, really? I know some people learn German just to understand that but that's hardly essential for the experience) but there have been more alike case which were sad: universities removing (!) freely-available lecture videos as there were no subtitles (even those published on YouTube, I don't know why generated subtitles wouldn't qualify).

And here I thought it was Swedish - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPf3kO-p7hc (link to a clip from "Stripes" where John Candy's character speaks some Swedish, learned from watching porn).

Oh, perhaps that was back in the 1980s?

The article says one of the videos in the complaint was "hot step aunt"

If you remove the audio from incest porn, doesn't that turn it into regular vanilla porn?

Yes, thankfully.

Erm, could you explain what's so special about German porn that people would want to learn the language to understand it?

In the past German porn used to be the only (or the only reasonable) porn many people could get. Some people felt curious about what do the people in the porn speak (which seems natural when all you have is a couple of VHS movies rather than tons of short clips you can navigate in instants), some of them had too much spare time (that was during the days before widespread Internet availability).
