Hrm, this doesn't follow automatically. I'm aware of international treaties
covering reciprocation of *copyrights*, but none that would mean
Urheberrecht has force outside of Germany regardless of where the work was
written. Do you have a reference for this?
For all I know he does have a legitimate claim under German law that cdrkit
infringes his Urheberrecht, but cdrkit is not a German product per se.
