The main reason for videos being blocked on UA-cam is not censorship, but copyright, and most of the time it is the owner or creator who request this blocking.
The problem is long solved. In Germany the Society for Musical Performing and Mechanical Reproduction Rights (GEMA) fights for the copyright of their members. UA-cam and GEMA just had a small disput over some money
@@petrophaga8523 let me correct that: "Some Money" there are still quite a chunk of songs blocked germany because of copyright quarrels thats also the reason, why services like netflix and amazon prime have different shows/movies available in different countries
that is an old information .. a couple of years ago videos where restricted because of the "gema" a german agancy that collects fees for the songs that being played and gives them to the artist! and they wanted youtube to pay for that! its now settled so this information is old!
The fact about 60% of videos being blocked is outdated. Today pretty much no Videos are blocked anymore, the reason why they were blocked many years ago is due to germanys strict copyright laws
not just copyright, but license fees. UA-cam and the GEMA (Society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights) were unable to settle an agreement for licensing. This has happened and now we can enjoy music videos here in Germany, too.
there are videos blocked. Mostly those of people who deny the holocaust. But other than that, yes, music isn't blocked in Germany anymore since 2014, when a miracle happened and the GEMA finally gave up (mostly because the record companies forced them too)
@@acmenipponair Yes, that applies for "official" music videos, but still people can be blocked or even drawn to court by some copyright or license holders here in Germany, even when some dude with a dashcam has some video on UA-cam while the radio is playing in their car, because that could be "unlicensed broadcasting". It happens less often than it once did because people mute the audio track or do some voice-over while the music is playing. edit: Videos with content that's illegal in Germany, mostly about the Nazi era, ARE blocked, but people who want to watch stuff like that use a VPN and mostly don't use UA-cam as their primary source. So that's really not an issue.
That crap doesn't work anyways, only the big names get money, I heard from a musician who's songs got blocked by GEMA back then, that he had absolutely nothing to do with it and he never ever received a cent from them.
Just to make it clear. If you flee from a prison there won't be charges against you for fleeing. But oc you will get charged when you comitted other crimes while fleeing like blackmailing/taking hostages/murder etc. So you cant just kill some guards, walk out, get caught again and they're like "Uh.. he just wanted to be free. Forget about the corpses" :D
Murder being a very harsh example in this circumstance. Destroying things (cell doors, fences...) is still a crime and punishable. Helping a prisoner, or even trying to, escape also is a crime (up to 5 years of prison time). A collective escape attempt by multiple prisoners can be considered a prisoner mutiny and be punished as a crime. And while the escape itself is not a crime, very likely it is considered a break of the house rules of the prison and can be disciplined as such. Also an earlier relese is unlikely. Both last points applicable if you get caught, that ist :D And while I'm not 100% sure, but I think, your sentence is not lifted, just because, you could flee. So, if you're caught, you still have to serve your sentence.
Also: When you don't flee from prison they normally reduce your sentence to 2/3 of the original judgement. But when you flee the prison, you will sit the whole time in prison and if you are a fleeing murderer, you even might get "Sicherheitsverwahrung" after your 25, because they say that your fleeing proofed that you are a danger to society. And that means prison until death.
Berlin actually has 2 Zoos... the older "Zoologischer Garten" wich is located directly in the City Center between Kurfürstendamm and the district of Tiergarten, is indeed the largest Zoo when it comes to indivudual species in exhibition ... but not by area covered. The "Tierpark Berlin" in the east covers an area that is almost triple the size.
The 9x bigger than Paris claim is the surface of the administrative entity that actually bears the name “Paris” or “Berlin“. In terms of population, the two are much closer. In terms of urbanised area including suburbs, Paris is much bigger - only large parts of it aren’t called „Paris“.
Hey hey IWrocker, I just recently start watching your channel, because a friend told me it is good. So i started checking it out, so scrolled out some videos from way back and such. (I'm from the netherlands tho) But i've seen most videos comparing USA with different Europe countries, including the dutch and stuff. I'm shocked to see that most US education not evolve the rest of the world, as most of Europe are teached fro young age in multi-languages we have to learn (like here, we learn Dutch (ofc) English, French, German as basic) and the schools i went to, i had to learn italian, spanish, and even greek. This is only the language package. On history, or world knowledge, we have to learn about the europe factor ofcourse. Like you need the learn the US factors. But we get the US factors in classes aswell, even all the way to china, and the world figures, what they all did and stand for till the current day!! So i dont get it why are the US so involved with theirselfs? And know nothing or so less about the world! I travelled alot, been in the US alot aswell, but they seem to know nothing... about the rest of the world... well most of them... The first time i met a dear friend of mine (she is born and raised in the US) she was mind blown by the thing we do, and know... Like me being dutch and speak english (maybe not the " perfect" english) but she can clearly understand me.... So hell ya, i wanted to coment on you're older videos, like recently, but i thought you wouldn't read it, because the videos go way back. That is why i just posted it now and here... Very nice regards, and really love your channel!
I would’ve loved to have learned more languages in school! Only English and Spanish for me. Thank you for sharing your comments, I hope you enjoy my channel 🎉😎👍
In the list of inventions, a glaring omission! Germany invented the automobile. Didn't you react a couple of months back to that cool little MB promo vid about Bertha making the world's first 'road trip'? 🤣
Hugo Boss did NOT design those uniforms. The notorius black SS Uniform was designed by Karl Diebisch. Boss was just one of the tailor factorys, that made those uniforms.
Hamburgers - Hamburg Frankfurters - Frankfurt. The Beatles incident was in 1960 when they were still teenagers, and long before they were famous. They were accused of attempted arson by the owner of the club where they were staying.
On the first magazine topic: German inventor Johannes Guttenberg invented printing, so the German region (at that time there was no united Germany as today) was the first in Europe to mass-produce printed works.
Exactly and this was in the year 1450, so I can imagine that the date for the magazine is correct. I am form Austria and did not know this one about the magazine. Well, you can not know all what happened on this planet, I guess.
5:33 It is because of copyright reasons... It has nothing to do with governmental censorship or something. It is how it is... Edit: Germany is very, very strict if it comes to copyright stuff. They block stuff for preventional reasons so no one can complain...
By the way the 60% is not true anymore. It was true when UA-cam was mostly used for charing music videos in the beginning of the 2010s and the GEMA, the german major copyright agency, went against that - but since 2013 UA-cam has a new contract with the GEMA and nowadays I don't know any videos that are blocked.
I think I mentioned it before, it is illegal to stop on the Autobahn in general, other than for a emergency. Running out of fuel is not a emergency, as it can be prevented by the driver before entering the Autobahn. Thus it wins you a ticket if you break down without fuel there. As for the condoms... there is not specific law of that kind. The Beatles were messing around setting condoms on fire in their hotel room, causing damage to the room, so they got kicked out. It is illegal to set a condom on fire while someone is still wearing it, though.... :)
Running out of fuel on the Autobahn ... there are gas stations directly at the Autobahn and even signs like "next gas station in 30 km". You actually can't miss them! :) So running out of fuel ... come on! Even the car informs the driver quite early that (s)he needs to tank the car by time! ^^+gg To the Coke and Fanta topic: These drinks taste in Germany very different than in the US as they use different type of sugar. In the US it's corn syrup - if I am not mistaken - and in Germany sugar beets, which is btw. healthier as it contains calium, iron and magnesium, too.
Must to have difficult for the early VW Beetle cars without a fuel gauge, like my mother's 1956 accelerator wheel model. She kept a laundry stick near the tank to dip into it for a reading. Although once broken down on the side of the road she was glad to see a friend a the family show her the reserve tank lever. All in Australia so no Autobahn issues.
Regarding your question: Can we see you in Germany? Yes. Greetings from Germany, Thuringia (Gera). I also learned something I didn't know about Hoogo Boss either. Fact 26 the hamburger steak (patty) was originally raw. It still exists, it's known as Beefsteak Tatar or Mett (Hackepeter). Fact 27 The lederhosen are old, but the dirndl (dress) only came into being at the end of the 19th century. PS: It comes from Bavaria and only 13 Mil. of the 85 million Germans are Bavarians (only in October and festivals). It's like Texas. Because "all" Americans are not cowboys.
Ian. You mentioned Hugo Boss Cologne. Not everyone knows the amazing history of the first 4711 Cologne from over two hundred years ago and how it is named after its originating German city of Cologne or as it is spelt in Germany Koln : ua-cam.com/video/QBmcTvXUqFA/v-deo.html From this I just learnt about the 4711 house number connection.
this is an old video. some facts are not true anymore. like the population is about to hit 84 mio. and is growing. YT videos were blocked because of copyright and licenze issues. this is solved. and the energy is at moment more than 50% and fast growing. greetings
@Hamburgers there are several theories how that came to be, but one that I personally like the best is: It comes from the Hamburger Frikadelle, which some people put on a bake roll... Someone brought that over to the US and bam, the Hamburger Frikadelle became the Hamburger :)
@@alexanderblume5377 there are several stories where the hamburger originated and how it got its name. But ham not being the reason for the name is the only thing all of the experts agree on.
@@kosmodome47 Sure, shame on zoos for keeping animals alive that are already extinct in wilderness 🙄 Zoos did become a necessity in breeding rare animals and helping with reintroduction program.

Also wenn es um die Fläche geht, sind die beiden Berliner Zoos definitiv nicht in den Top 10 der Welt. Da gibt es definitiv größere. Aber der "Zoologische Garten" ist der größte Zoo der Welt wenn es um den tierbestand und die ausgestellten Arten geht

07:16 it's not a coincidence! The main royal families of Europe and Russia have been connected between each other for centuries! If you want to know more about that, or history of Europe in general, I strongly suggest the channel Extra History. They made an amazing job of explaining the history of Catherine the Great of Russia and other important royals that shaped the history of Europe. Also, they explained really well the seminal tragedy, the series of events that brought to WWI and consequently also to WWII and other issues we are still dealing with today.
U can still get in trouble for escaping the prison if u damage furnishings like the bars or windows of a prison, or if u hurt someone, steal something etc. If u are able to break free without braking a law, then its legal. So u have to be very smart
I think in Melbourne Australia you can get fined for running out of petrol on the Westgate Bridge. As there are service stations/fuel stations leading up to the Bridge so you have plenty of opportunities to make sure you have petrol
there's a new video that will be right up your alley Ian it's called "more than hoons, 100yrs of newcastle motorsport" it covers the history of motorsport culture in newcastle australia, speedway, hill climb, street racing, supermoto, v8 supercars. you'll love it.
Back then youtube was having a fight with our music licensing agency, so all videos containing copyrighted music where blocked. As you can imagine that is quite a lot of videos, even back then. After the dispute was settled and youtube started paying for music use all videos where unblocked That the video is pretty old can be seen at the renewables share as well, afaik we are over 40% now
Oh, you actually CAN prevent a car from breaking down on the highway. Our mandatory inspection by officials every other year, to check if the vehicle is still safe to drive on the roads (especially the highway) does exactly that. When I was a kid we went to the Netherlands one time (when the cars there still had yellow head lights...) and I was wondering, why there were so many cars on the side of the highways. And my father responded "Because they don't have TÜV."
The first adventure zoo in the world, however, is Hagenbek's Tierpark in Hamburg. Karl Hagenbek was the inventor of gridless animal husbandry (1896) and was the first to design the enclosures according to the natural habitats of the respective animals.
I was born in Germany .. it feels cool to see this. Also i must say that i believe that you cowboys are always welcome here. I can't speak for all of us of course, but I think we can't be thankful enough for what your grandfathers did here and risked in ww 2. The most amazing thing is that the allies made it possible for this country to grow and heal after the war. Without these decisions, the economic miracle would never have been possible.
6:22 whenever we gather up and go relic hunting... in 6 years now, not counting the pandemic pause, we've never had a detector trip without finding at least one uxo, in some parts, we have the number that links us directly to the disposal units, because they already know us and as such it's faster and saves up some bureaucracy.
No. 14 : Yes, because the European Royal houses married among themselfes for the last hundreds of years. So of course they can be cousins. For example: The husband of Queen Elisabeth of England was Mr.Mountbatten; The name originated from the German Town Battenberg (berg means mountain in german), because he was half german and half greek. Yes, greek. So you see, very international. Best wishes from a german girl ❤
Some videos were blocked in Germany due to legal battles with GEMA, German Society for Musical Performing and Mechanical Reproduction Rights, a government-mandated society that collects fees for public showing/playing of content from singers, musicians and songwriters. If I remember correctly (it’s been some years) it had something to do with GEMA wanting UA-cam to pay fees to show artists’ videos, but YT refused, causing GEMA to block content from being shown on YT. Although the society was founded to protect the artists’ rights, artists often found themselves on the downside because they couldn’t show their own content on YT to access a wider audience. Fun fact: Germany was the first welfare state and the first to implement universal healthcare in the late 1800s.
Tried some videos from the list and they are 100% not blocked :) It think that was a while ago because of an clash between the german "GEMA" and youtube because of copyright issues etc. But its resolved by now
TV wasn't invented _only_ in Germany. The American young man, Philo Farnsworth, is also seen as one of the big inventors of the Television. The fact is that the TV was invented in many places around the world at almost the same time. This goes for many inventions, like the car (automobile) for instance. Edit: Philo Farnsworth conceived the world's first all-electronic television at the age of 15. By the time he died, he had earned over 300 U.S. and foreign patents for electronic and mechanical devices.
The video blocks where because of GEMA the association of music artists and composers. They sued Google for using copyrighted music etc. so those videos where blocked until they reached an agreement in 2017. The Beatles lived in Hamburg for a while and sharpened their skills playing on the Reeperbahn before becoming famous. They got in a disagreement with a club owner there and he reported Harrison for working underage and when McCartney and Best burned a condom for light he reported them for attempted arson. They got deported for that. I don't think that burning condoms was illegal (but it was 60 years ago, so maybe). It makes for a tasty clickbait though.
In charge of defusing WW II bombs is a special section of the army, called "Kampfmittelräumdienst". Many old amunition is also found in the north sea. Before surendering all ships threw the ammo over bord. Many fisherman have died because of ammo in fishing nets.
6:15 certain private companies deal with that stuff. sometimes gouvernmental origanizations might be involved, but mostly stuff like that gets contracted to specialized companies.
That video is from 2015 and it shows. It was the same year that UA-cam won their dispute against GEMA in court and a year later, they came to an agreement on copyright charges so #10 is no longer true. That also means that for #18 the amount of renewable energy has more than doubled in the decade since then. Germany might have been a pioneer when it comes to deploying photovoltaic but as a whole, the decarbonisation of the electricity production in both Germany and the USofA actually follows a very similar curve over the last decade, so there is nothing to be jealous of for you. It's a recurring thing I see from US Americans who don't realise just how big the renewable energy efforts in their own country are.
The thing is, most prisoners who try to escape, are doing crimes while they escape and for these crimes they can get punished obvsly. But lets say someone escapes quiet and without victims on the way out, the person just goes back to jail
On my way to my professionschool, i run out on gas on the autobahn . The police was allready watching me i changed to neutral after my engine stopped and rolled on the stoppinglane to the next gasstation were my car stoped i needd to push it a few steps to refill and the police were amazed->dissapointed😅
Right. Just had to do some checking about my country and it's power generation. Most recent data: Climate experts thought 95% renewable electricity could be achieved by 2030. New Zealand reached that climate goal last December - almost. In the last quarter of 2022, hydro dams, geothermal plants, wind and solar farms provided 94.7% of all power - the highest share since records began in 1974, according to Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment data. So, not too bad at all.
The hamburgers not only have the name of Hamburg, the hamburger was also invented in Hamburg! A Hamburg immigrant family took the recipe and idea with them to the USA. Because there was no hamburger bread in the USA at the time, he put the meat patty between two normal slices of bread.
lots of "semi-true" "facts" in compilations like this ... eg running out of fuel on the autobahn is NOT directly illegal (there is no such explicit law), but stopping without good reason is, and since there are enough fuel stations and you can/should always check your fuel in time, "running out of fuel" is no such unexpected emergency, making it "indirectly illegal".
Hugo Boss didn't design the uniforms but - as all german tailor's shops - his company has to manufacture uniforms. The Beatles where deported because "open fire" backstage of a cellar club (Where open fire was forbidden for safety reasons). That the "open fire" was a burning condom doesn't matter.
A few corrections, as the video is old: population is closer to 84 mil now YT videos aren't blocked anymore renewable energy is close to 50% that lighting a condom wasn't the problem for the Beatles, it was just that two of them were underage.
6:15 The problem is, all bombs with timed fuses, whose fuses were not activated on impact (because they hit soft ground and then settled into the ground with the tip up, so that the acid did not activate the fuse), now and then explode by themselves, because the plastic valve used is crumbling. I can't guarantee the explanation, but that's how I saw and understood it in a documentary. 🙃 A few years ago a bomb had to be blown up in the Wadden Sea off the coast, I lived 2 miles away and got mighty scared by the bang - even though I knew it was happening. 🙈
yeah the thing about the rulers of different countries being cousins ... it really is not a coincidence... many royal families are related, since back in the days they almost exclusively married other royal families and produced offsprings with them.... today it isn't as strict, but some royals uphold these... 'traditions' ... The british royal family for example has german roots ('Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha') and they renamed themself during WWI into 'Windsor', to show they are not affiliated.
The running out of fuel being illegal should amended by "out of negligence or intent". If you have a broken fuel line, and run out of gas, no prob. It's just that a car running out of fuel often looses a lot of its hydraulic assistents, such as powered steering, hydraulic brakes, etc. Also many cars will loose a lot of their electronic assistents as well, such as ABS, traction or lane control, etc. All of that means that a fast driving vehicle suddenly may become much less safe to drive at those speeds. That's the predominant reason why you shouldn't run out of fuel on the Autobahn. Next, gas stations are usually spaced less than 25 km from each other along the Autobahn, either directly as reststops, or shortly after an exit as a so-called Autohof. That means once your warning light for low fuel lights up, you should be able to reach the next gas station easily on the emergency reserve. So running out of fuel in anything but extreme cases is definitely preventable. Breaking down definitely is NOT fineable in Germany. Edit: Germany's population is now 84 million but mostly due to refugees or immigrants. Germany definitely needs a boost if young families wanting to live, work, and pay taxes here. Our demographic is changing to an aging country but our social systems need a basically Christmas tree shape across all age groups. Many young, and fewer old people. Currently this is shifting higher and higher up, and the number of children is barely sufficient to account for the number of people going into retirement. That's why Germany has been moaning about the Fachkräftemangel, the lack of specialized crafts and trades people for the last two decades at least. Edit 2: copyright and blocked UA-cam videos: a) this has already been resolved several years ago; b) nope, what so many people claimed here that it was copyright infringement, not totally correct. In Germany there's a public organization called GEMA, a society that tries to have every creator and author aloft a copyrighted production recieve their legal allotment of their royalties. The GEMA usually settles contracts with any company, TV, radio, or any other media outlet on a small fee to be paid, which is then distributed to the original creator. As UA-cam didn't have any official contracts with their creators paying them directly for their content, the GEMA issued a demand to Google to rectify that situation. As Google didn't want the hassle, they simply blocked any IP addresses from Germany from seeing certain content. However, this has been settled at least eight years ago amicably. So there are no blocked videos anymore in Germany on UA-cam unless a content creator specifically demanded such a ban.
4:00 well it is illegal to stop on the autobahn in general. if it is something you couldn´t prevent from happening (like running out of gas you surely can) then you´ll be fine
About the jailbreak not being punished: That is technically true, but you are almost always comitting offenses to do it, if nothing else, the damage you do to the prison cell or the locks you break. So while you are not punished for escaping in itself, you will of course be prosecuted for any crimes you commit to break out of jail.
about the blocking of those vids....just to clear the issue. the one and only reason is country based copyrights. for us labels it is sometimes too complicated to deal with german copyrights and data protection laws, too expensive, so they don't. just like you cannot get US Television here , or technically are prohibited from importing video games from other places, it depends. just get a VPN. easy fix. ;-)
Well about that Beatles story. It's not all wrong, they got deported and the reason was somehow the lighted condom. But there was no law against lighting condoms. What Paul McCartney and Pete Best nailed that condom onto a wall before lighting it and almost set the whole building on fire that way. This was seen as arson which in deed was prohibited.
well "renewable Energy" isn`t technical correct, since we can only transform energy from one form to another form of energy (example solar energy gets transformed into electricity energy to be used etc.)
@1:50 Wow, for some reason you got it exactly right, even though the video is not just misleading but wrong in how they phrased it. You'll still get punished for everything else, e.g. if you need to destroy something or attack somebody whilst breaking out of prison.
Re: the bomb cleanup from WWII, France has a similar thing from WWI. Look up the "Récolte de Fer" (Iron Harvest) and "Zone Rouge" (needs no translation). The world wars are still very much with us.
Yes... for example, last Friday they defused one in Offenbach, a few days before that in Hanau, every now and then in in Frankfurt... (these 3 are relatively near eachother -distance wise). Now, there have been incidents ever since the end of the war, however, videos like that make it seem like every finding leads to tragedy, when in reality, the process is in place to prevent those. Now for ppl in the affected area, it's a huge inconvenience, not denying that. But unless you actually live in Frankfurt or so, you likely go through life without even hearing of a finding in your area. If we do live or just work in Frankfurt (for example) we basically just sigh and - at most - check where exactly, in order to see if it'll affect our commute.
The thing about 1% HIV- immunity is, that they are actually immune to the pest (which ravaged through germany several times and fell together with the 30 year war, a collective trauma to this day). Immunity to the Pest also grants immunity to HIV for some reason.
That's because Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes the Black Plague (Pest) and the HI-Virus use the same way to enter the T-cells of the immune system. The bacteria uses the T-cells to travel to the lymph nodes where they then leave the T-cells and infect the lymph nodes directly. The HI-Virus stays in the T-cells and incorporates its own RNA into the cell's DNA. Due to the many deaths caused by the Black Plague in the middle Ages most of the people who survived it were immune to Yersinia pestis (and also HIV, even if they didn't know it back then), but because it was so long ago the percentage of immune people has gone down since then. Also it's not just Germany that has some immune people, it's all of Europe. 🙂
About renewable energy one, sadly, has to state that bio mass is counted as a renewable source of energy in the country. Germany imports most of the bio mass. The problem is that this bio mass consists of shredded forests to an uncertain degree. It is not sufficiently monitored if the forests out of which the bio mass is soruced are managed in a sustainable way.
10: That was a long time ago, Google and the German company that takes care of the rights and payment of the artists couldn't come to an agreement for a long time - that's why a lot of songs were simply blocked in Germany. Google and GEMA have now reached an agreement. 18: in 2024 it's ~60% renewable Energy
7:19 Their grandmother was Queen Victoria who herself had 100% German blood. She died in the arms of her favourite grandson Kaiser Wilhelm II. of Hohenzollern while the future King of England had to wait outside. Yes, even foreigners can go to university in Germany for free. The problem will be qualifying to do so. For example with a German school education (Abitur) US universities give you a Bachelor degree in half the usual time. Fines in Germany, the Nordic Countries and Switzerland are not fixed sums of money but fixed multiples of the offenders daily income under the principle that fines must hurt everybody equally. A Swiss guy holds the record for the most expensive speeding ticket which cost him around $1 million. I'm sure he won't forget that in a hurry the same way he would forget a $100 fine!
The German GEMA is a company that aids artists with asserting copyright claims. While this is great for artists on the one hand, GEMA does control the claims business and will get anyone who infriges the copyright of their signed artists. They lobbied for more rigorous copyright laws. In Germany but also in Europe in general, copyright and privacy laws are very strict. Anyone can report infringements to social or other media. That's why so many videos get banned. Even videos whose publishers own the rights may get banned out of mistake.
Actually, the info about Hugo Boss is wrong. Boss wasn't a designer back then, he and his company was one of a host of contract manufacturers for uniforms, based on designs they were given.

If I remember correctly from learned: NASA and a lot of the science needed for the space race was from a Nazi-German scientist who either was pardoned or not in war Court after the who somehow managed to go to the US either he escaped or was sent for. Don't remember. And another I picked up was that the oldest part of the wolkswagen factory is the original building where they built the beattle first(then came the war and that factory was repurposed to manufacture tanks.) and that's still in use(Think a documentary on discovery if I'm not mistaken). If anyone knows more about this correct me if I'm wrong
05:25 Violation of copyrights => A lot of musicvideos are banned. We have to use a workaround. A organisation named GEMA (music industrie) is responsible for that. It‘s all about money.
Escape from prison is not punished, but, every crime you commit during the escape, and while you're on the run, will be prosecuted and punished. For instance, if you hurt one of the guards, who tries to stop you from escaping, you will be prosecuted for this crime, or if you steal money, while on the run, you are going to be prosecuted for theft.
Well, you can try to flee prison. But that means that instead of having your sentence nulled after 2/3 of its time passed you will sit in the jail for the whole sentence, because you have misbehaved. (No early release for "Gute Sozialprognose")
30% renewable is outdated, 2022 it was 48,3% edit: not to forget....Germany is cancelling nuclear energy, the last reactor s are shutting down in April this year
It is not illegal to escape from a prison, but is illegal to saw you through the bars outside of your window. So when you get cought you dont get an penalty for the escape but for the damage to foreign property! 🙂 And germany invented mp3!

It happens less often than it once did because people mute the audio track or do some voice-over while the music is playing.
edit: Videos with content that's illegal in Germany, mostly about the Nazi era, ARE blocked, but people who want to watch stuff like that use a VPN and mostly don't use UA-cam as their primary source. So that's really not an issue.
The blocked content issue has long been solved. It was all about copyright issues and creators being paid.
That crap doesn't work anyways, only the big names get money, I heard from a musician who's songs got blocked by GEMA back then, that he had absolutely nothing to do with it and he never ever received a cent from them.
Just to make it clear. If you flee from a prison there won't be charges against you for fleeing. But oc you will get charged when you comitted other crimes while fleeing like blackmailing/taking hostages/murder etc.
So you cant just kill some guards, walk out, get caught again and they're like "Uh.. he just wanted to be free. Forget about the corpses" :D
Murder being a very harsh example in this circumstance.
Destroying things (cell doors, fences...) is still a crime and punishable. Helping a prisoner, or even trying to, escape also is a crime (up to 5 years of prison time). A collective escape attempt by multiple prisoners can be considered a prisoner mutiny and be punished as a crime.
And while the escape itself is not a crime, very likely it is considered a break of the house rules of the prison and can be disciplined as such. Also an earlier relese is unlikely. Both last points applicable if you get caught, that ist :D
And while I'm not 100% sure, but I think, your sentence is not lifted, just because, you could flee. So, if you're caught, you still have to serve your sentence.
Also: When you don't flee from prison they normally reduce your sentence to 2/3 of the original judgement. But when you flee the prison, you will sit the whole time in prison and if you are a fleeing murderer, you even might get "Sicherheitsverwahrung" after your 25, because they say that your fleeing proofed that you are a danger to society. And that means prison until death.
Berlin actually has 2 Zoos... the older "Zoologischer Garten" wich is located directly in the City Center between Kurfürstendamm and the district of Tiergarten, is indeed the largest Zoo when it comes to indivudual species in exhibition ... but not by area covered.
The "Tierpark Berlin" in the east covers an area that is almost triple the size.
Three zoos if you include the city itself.
The 9x bigger than Paris claim is the surface of the administrative entity that actually bears the name “Paris” or “Berlin“. In terms of population, the two are much closer. In terms of urbanised area including suburbs, Paris is much bigger - only large parts of it aren’t called „Paris“.
Hey hey IWrocker,
I just recently start watching your channel, because a friend told me it is good. So i started checking it out, so scrolled out some videos from way back and such. (I'm from the netherlands tho)
But i've seen most videos comparing USA with different Europe countries, including the dutch and stuff.
I'm shocked to see that most US education not evolve the rest of the world, as most of Europe are teached fro young age in multi-languages we have to learn (like here, we learn Dutch (ofc) English, French, German as basic) and the schools i went to, i had to learn italian, spanish, and even greek.
This is only the language package.
On history, or world knowledge, we have to learn about the europe factor ofcourse. Like you need the learn the US factors.
But we get the US factors in classes aswell, even all the way to china, and the world figures, what they all did and stand for till the current day!!
So i dont get it why are the US so involved with theirselfs? And know nothing or so less about the world!
I travelled alot, been in the US alot aswell, but they seem to know nothing... about the rest of the world... well most of them...
The first time i met a dear friend of mine (she is born and raised in the US) she was mind blown by the thing we do, and know... Like me being dutch and speak english (maybe not the " perfect" english) but she can clearly understand me....
So hell ya, i wanted to coment on you're older videos, like recently, but i thought you wouldn't read it, because the videos go way back.
That is why i just posted it now and here...
Very nice regards, and really love your channel!
I would’ve loved to have learned more languages in school! Only English and Spanish for me. Thank you for sharing your comments, I hope you enjoy my channel 🎉😎👍
In the list of inventions, a glaring omission! Germany invented the automobile. Didn't you react a couple of months back to that cool little MB promo vid about Bertha making the world's first 'road trip'? 🤣
Hugo Boss did NOT design those uniforms. The notorius black SS Uniform was designed by Karl Diebisch. Boss was just one of the tailor factorys, that made those uniforms.
Hamburgers - Hamburg
Frankfurters - Frankfurt.
The Beatles incident was in 1960 when they were still teenagers, and long before they were famous. They were accused of attempted arson by the owner of the club where they were staying.
On the first magazine topic: German inventor Johannes Guttenberg invented printing, so the German region (at that time there was no united Germany as today) was the first in Europe to mass-produce printed works.
Exactly and this was in the year 1450, so I can imagine that the date for the magazine is correct. I am form Austria and did not know this one about the magazine. Well, you can not know all what happened on this planet, I guess.
5:33 It is because of copyright reasons... It has nothing to do with governmental censorship or something. It is how it is...
Edit: Germany is very, very strict if it comes to copyright stuff. They block stuff for preventional reasons so no one can complain...
By the way the 60% is not true anymore. It was true when UA-cam was mostly used for charing music videos in the beginning of the 2010s and the GEMA, the german major copyright agency, went against that - but since 2013 UA-cam has a new contract with the GEMA and nowadays I don't know any videos that are blocked.
I think I mentioned it before, it is illegal to stop on the Autobahn in general, other than for a emergency. Running out of fuel is not a emergency, as it can be prevented by the driver before entering the Autobahn. Thus it wins you a ticket if you break down without fuel there.
As for the condoms... there is not specific law of that kind. The Beatles were messing around setting condoms on fire in their hotel room, causing damage to the room, so they got kicked out. It is illegal to set a condom on fire while someone is still wearing it, though.... :)
Running out of fuel on the Autobahn ... there are gas stations directly at the Autobahn and even signs like "next gas station in 30 km". You actually can't miss them! :) So running out of fuel ... come on! Even the car informs the driver quite early that (s)he needs to tank the car by time! ^^+gg To the Coke and Fanta topic: These drinks taste in Germany very different than in the US as they use different type of sugar. In the US it's corn syrup - if I am not mistaken - and in Germany sugar beets, which is btw. healthier as it contains calium, iron and magnesium, too.
Must to have difficult for the early VW Beetle cars without a fuel gauge, like my mother's 1956 accelerator wheel model. She kept a laundry stick near the tank to dip into it for a reading. Although once broken down on the side of the road she was glad to see a friend a the family show her the reserve tank lever.
All in Australia so no Autobahn issues.
Yeah, most countries do use different sugar, here in Australia we use sugar cane. I think Coca Cola now owns Fanta.
@@utha2665 Fanta was inventend by the German branch of the Coca Cola Company and owned since the beginning
Regarding your question: Can we see you in Germany? Yes. Greetings from Germany, Thuringia (Gera).
I also learned something I didn't know about Hoogo Boss either.
Fact 26 the hamburger steak (patty) was originally raw. It still exists, it's known as Beefsteak Tatar or Mett (Hackepeter).
Fact 27 The lederhosen are old, but the dirndl (dress) only came into being at the end of the 19th century. PS: It comes from Bavaria and only 13 Mil. of the 85 million Germans are Bavarians (only in October and festivals). It's like Texas. Because "all" Americans are not cowboys.
Ian. You mentioned Hugo Boss Cologne. Not everyone knows the amazing history of the first 4711 Cologne from over two hundred years ago and how it is named after its originating German city of Cologne or as it is spelt in Germany Koln :
ua-cam.com/video/QBmcTvXUqFA/v-deo.html
From this I just learnt about the 4711 house number connection.
John, its spelled Köln....
this is an old video. some facts are not true anymore. like the population is about to hit 84 mio. and is growing. YT videos were blocked because of copyright and licenze issues. this is solved. and the energy is at moment more than 50% and fast growing.
greetings
GER certainly isn't the most capitalist country!
Yeah, I think they actually said 'automotive capitol' which I think checks out?
True, in fact if you look how high our taxes are and how much we spent for social things we are way more socialistic than capitalistic.
@@Outside85
In that video?... no, he clearly did say most capitalist country.
@Hamburgers there are several theories how that came to be, but one that I personally like the best is:
It comes from the Hamburger Frikadelle, which some people put on a bake roll... Someone brought that over
to the US and bam, the Hamburger Frikadelle became the Hamburger :)
The original Hamburger is comes from the words Ham (Bacon) + Bread
@@alexanderblume5377 there are several stories where the hamburger originated and how it got its name. But ham not being the reason for the name is the only thing all of the experts agree on.
Biggest zoo in Germany was new to me, too. And I am German.
Fun Fact: Germany has the most Zoos in the World, more than 400, if I'm not wrong.
And that's really a sad fact if you think about it
@@kosmodome47 Sure, shame on zoos for keeping animals alive that are already extinct in wilderness 🙄 Zoos did become a necessity in breeding rare animals and helping with reintroduction program. A few zoos in the world (e.g. Zoo Neuwied, Germany) even managed to trace back the genetic footprint of barbary lions and were able to breed them.
Also wenn es um die Fläche geht, sind die beiden Berliner Zoos definitiv nicht in den Top 10 der Welt. Da gibt es definitiv größere.
Aber der "Zoologische Garten" ist der größte Zoo der Welt wenn es um den tierbestand und die ausgestellten Arten geht
China hat knapp 3000 Zoos..... Wozu stehen die 400 in Relation?
@@Thorium_Th So: Elephants, Dolphins, Penguins, Flamingos, Orcas, Gazelles, Chimpanzees, Tigers, Icebears are "rare" and NEED to be kept in captivity?
07:16 it's not a coincidence! The main royal families of Europe and Russia have been connected between each other for centuries! If you want to know more about that, or history of Europe in general, I strongly suggest the channel Extra History. They made an amazing job of explaining the history of Catherine the Great of Russia and other important royals that shaped the history of Europe. Also, they explained really well the seminal tragedy, the series of events that brought to WWI and consequently also to WWII and other issues we are still dealing with today.
I just love my country 😊 living in the US for several years . I appreciate it even more ❤
U can still get in trouble for escaping the prison if u damage furnishings like the bars or windows of a prison, or if u hurt someone, steal something etc.
If u are able to break free without braking a law, then its legal. So u have to be very smart
I think in Melbourne Australia you can get fined for running out of petrol on the Westgate Bridge. As there are service stations/fuel stations leading up to the Bridge so you have plenty of opportunities to make sure you have petrol
there's a new video that will be right up your alley Ian it's called "more than hoons, 100yrs of newcastle motorsport" it covers the history of motorsport culture in newcastle australia, speedway, hill climb, street racing, supermoto, v8 supercars. you'll love it.
Sounds awesome I’ll take a look 🎉
Back then youtube was having a fight with our music licensing agency, so all videos containing copyrighted music where blocked. As you can imagine that is quite a lot of videos, even back then. After the dispute was settled and youtube started paying for music use all videos where unblocked
That the video is pretty old can be seen at the renewables share as well, afaik we are over 40% now
Oh, you actually CAN prevent a car from breaking down on the highway. Our mandatory inspection by officials every other year, to check if the vehicle is still safe to drive on the roads (especially the highway) does exactly that. When I was a kid we went to the Netherlands one time (when the cars there still had yellow head lights...) and I was wondering, why there were so many cars on the side of the highways. And my father responded "Because they don't have TÜV."
The first adventure zoo in the world, however, is Hagenbek's Tierpark in Hamburg. Karl Hagenbek was the inventor of gridless animal husbandry (1896) and was the first to design the enclosures according to the natural habitats of the respective animals.
Actually the first Christmas tree originated in Germany but the first decorated tree was in Riga Latvia in 1510.
I was born in Germany .. it feels cool to see this. Also i must say that i believe that you cowboys are always welcome here. I can't speak for all of us of course, but I think we can't be thankful enough for what your grandfathers did here and risked in ww 2. The most amazing thing is that the allies made it possible for this country to grow and heal after the war. Without these decisions, the economic miracle would never have been possible.
6:22 whenever we gather up and go relic hunting... in 6 years now, not counting the pandemic pause, we've never had a detector trip without finding at least one uxo, in some parts, we have the number that links us directly to the disposal units, because they already know us and as such it's faster and saves up some bureaucracy.
4:27 - Or diesel. Motor vehicles don't run only on gasoline. 😉
No. 14 : Yes, because the European Royal houses married among themselfes for the last hundreds of years. So of course they can be cousins. For example: The husband of Queen Elisabeth of England was Mr.Mountbatten; The name originated from the German Town Battenberg (berg means mountain in german), because he was half german and half greek. Yes, greek. So you see, very international.
Best wishes from a german girl ❤
Some videos were blocked in Germany due to legal battles with GEMA, German Society for Musical Performing and Mechanical Reproduction Rights, a government-mandated society that collects fees for public showing/playing of content from singers, musicians and songwriters. If I remember correctly (it’s been some years) it had something to do with GEMA wanting UA-cam to pay fees to show artists’ videos, but YT refused, causing GEMA to block content from being shown on YT.
Although the society was founded to protect the artists’ rights, artists often found themselves on the downside because they couldn’t show their own content on YT to access a wider audience.
Fun fact: Germany was the first welfare state and the first to implement universal healthcare in the late 1800s.
The Hugo Boss uniform "fact" is kind of an urban legend. The company did manufacture uniforms as one of many factories but did not design them.
Tried some videos from the list and they are 100% not blocked :) It think that was a while ago because of an clash between the german "GEMA" and youtube because of copyright issues etc. But its resolved by now
TV wasn't invented _only_ in Germany. The American young man, Philo Farnsworth, is also seen as one of the big inventors of the Television. The fact is that the TV was invented in many places around the world at almost the same time. This goes for many inventions, like the car (automobile) for instance.
Edit: Philo Farnsworth conceived the world's first all-electronic television at the age of 15. By the time he died, he had earned over 300 U.S. and foreign patents for electronic and mechanical devices.
The video blocks where because of GEMA the association of music artists and composers. They sued Google for using copyrighted music etc. so those videos where blocked until they reached an agreement in 2017.
The Beatles lived in Hamburg for a while and sharpened their skills playing on the Reeperbahn before becoming famous. They got in a disagreement with a club owner there and he reported Harrison for working underage and when McCartney and Best burned a condom for light he reported them for attempted arson. They got deported for that. I don't think that burning condoms was illegal (but it was 60 years ago, so maybe). It makes for a tasty clickbait though.
In charge of defusing WW II bombs is a special section of the army, called "Kampfmittelräumdienst". Many old amunition is also found in the north sea. Before surendering all ships threw the ammo over bord. Many fisherman have died because of ammo in fishing nets.
6:15 certain private companies deal with that stuff. sometimes gouvernmental origanizations might be involved, but mostly
stuff like that gets contracted to specialized companies.
That video is from 2015 and it shows. It was the same year that UA-cam won their dispute against GEMA in court and a year later, they came to an agreement on copyright charges so #10 is no longer true. That also means that for #18 the amount of renewable energy has more than doubled in the decade since then. Germany might have been a pioneer when it comes to deploying photovoltaic but as a whole, the decarbonisation of the electricity production in both Germany and the USofA actually follows a very similar curve over the last decade, so there is nothing to be jealous of for you. It's a recurring thing I see from US Americans who don't realise just how big the renewable energy efforts in their own country are.
The thing is, most prisoners who try to escape, are doing crimes while they escape and for these crimes they can get punished obvsly. But lets say someone escapes quiet and without victims on the way out, the person just goes back to jail
On my way to my professionschool, i run out on gas on the autobahn .
The police was allready watching me
i changed to neutral after my engine stopped and rolled on the stoppinglane to the next gasstation were my car stoped
i needd to push it a few steps to refill and the police were amazed->dissapointed😅
There are alot of american react to germany what ever....
But your vids are soo good...
Keep on wrocking👍
You name it👍
I feature lots of countries and topics 🎉 thanks for your support 😎👍
Blocked videos on UA-cam. That sounds strange. But the reason is not censorship, but a strict copyright law.
You should really watch some vids about iceland... about those Highlandroads, awesome landscape, the people etc.
Greeting from germany
Right. Just had to do some checking about my country and it's power generation.
Most recent data: Climate experts thought 95% renewable electricity could be achieved by 2030. New Zealand reached that climate goal last December - almost.
In the last quarter of 2022, hydro dams, geothermal plants, wind and solar farms provided 94.7% of all power - the highest share since records began in 1974, according to Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment data.
So, not too bad at all.
The hamburgers not only have the name of Hamburg, the hamburger was also invented in Hamburg! A Hamburg immigrant family took the recipe and idea with them to the USA. Because there was no hamburger bread in the USA at the time, he put the meat patty between two normal slices of bread.
3:13 You shouldn't search for _first magazin ever,_ but for *_Erbauliche Monaths-Unterredungen_*
lots of "semi-true" "facts" in compilations like this ...
eg running out of fuel on the autobahn is NOT directly illegal (there is no such explicit law), but stopping without good reason is, and since there are enough fuel stations and you can/should always check your fuel in time, "running out of fuel" is no such unexpected emergency, making it "indirectly illegal".
Hugo Boss didn't design the uniforms but - as all german tailor's shops - his company has to manufacture uniforms.
The Beatles where deported because "open fire" backstage of a cellar club (Where open fire was forbidden for safety reasons). That the "open fire" was a burning condom doesn't matter.
You should react to the Dutch police finding torture chambers.
A few corrections, as the video is old:
population is closer to 84 mil now
YT videos aren't blocked anymore
renewable energy is close to 50%
that lighting a condom wasn't the problem for the Beatles, it was just that two of them were underage.
Fanta -> Was taken as Shortname for Fantastisch
Title of the Magazin was edifying monthly talks. The blocked videos come about because we pay close attention to copyright law.
6:15 The problem is, all bombs with timed fuses, whose fuses were not activated on impact (because they hit soft ground and then settled into the ground with the tip up, so that the acid did not activate the fuse), now and then explode by themselves, because the plastic valve used is crumbling. I can't guarantee the explanation, but that's how I saw and understood it in a documentary. 🙃 A few years ago a bomb had to be blown up in the Wadden Sea off the coast, I lived 2 miles away and got mighty scared by the bang - even though I knew it was happening. 🙈
August 1960: Beginning of a world career. The Beatles' career began in Hamburg on August 17, 1960.
yeah the thing about the rulers of different countries being cousins ... it really is not a coincidence... many royal families are related, since back in the days they almost exclusively married other royal families and produced offsprings with them.... today it isn't as strict, but some royals uphold these... 'traditions' ...
The british royal family for example has german roots ('Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha') and they renamed themself during WWI into 'Windsor', to show they are not affiliated.
The running out of fuel being illegal should amended by "out of negligence or intent". If you have a broken fuel line, and run out of gas, no prob. It's just that a car running out of fuel often looses a lot of its hydraulic assistents, such as powered steering, hydraulic brakes, etc. Also many cars will loose a lot of their electronic assistents as well, such as ABS, traction or lane control, etc. All of that means that a fast driving vehicle suddenly may become much less safe to drive at those speeds. That's the predominant reason why you shouldn't run out of fuel on the Autobahn.
Next, gas stations are usually spaced less than 25 km from each other along the Autobahn, either directly as reststops, or shortly after an exit as a so-called Autohof. That means once your warning light for low fuel lights up, you should be able to reach the next gas station easily on the emergency reserve. So running out of fuel in anything but extreme cases is definitely preventable.
Breaking down definitely is NOT fineable in Germany.
Edit: Germany's population is now 84 million but mostly due to refugees or immigrants. Germany definitely needs a boost if young families wanting to live, work, and pay taxes here. Our demographic is changing to an aging country but our social systems need a basically Christmas tree shape across all age groups. Many young, and fewer old people. Currently this is shifting higher and higher up, and the number of children is barely sufficient to account for the number of people going into retirement. That's why Germany has been moaning about the Fachkräftemangel, the lack of specialized crafts and trades people for the last two decades at least.
Edit 2: copyright and blocked UA-cam videos: a) this has already been resolved several years ago; b) nope, what so many people claimed here that it was copyright infringement, not totally correct. In Germany there's a public organization called GEMA, a society that tries to have every creator and author aloft a copyrighted production recieve their legal allotment of their royalties. The GEMA usually settles contracts with any company, TV, radio, or any other media outlet on a small fee to be paid, which is then distributed to the original creator. As UA-cam didn't have any official contracts with their creators paying them directly for their content, the GEMA issued a demand to Google to rectify that situation. As Google didn't want the hassle, they simply blocked any IP addresses from Germany from seeing certain content.
However, this has been settled at least eight years ago amicably. So there are no blocked videos anymore in Germany on UA-cam unless a content creator specifically demanded such a ban.
4:00 well it is illegal to stop on the autobahn in general. if it is something you couldn´t prevent from happening (like running out of gas you surely can)
then you´ll be fine
About the jailbreak not being punished: That is technically true, but you are almost always comitting offenses to do it, if nothing else, the damage you do to the prison cell or the locks you break. So while you are not punished for escaping in itself, you will of course be prosecuted for any crimes you commit to break out of jail.
about the blocking of those vids....just to clear the issue. the one and only reason is country based copyrights. for us labels it is sometimes too complicated to deal with german copyrights and data protection laws, too expensive, so they don't. just like you cannot get US Television here , or technically are prohibited from importing video games from other places, it depends. just get a VPN. easy fix. ;-)
Well about that Beatles story. It's not all wrong, they got deported and the reason was somehow the lighted condom. But there was no law against lighting condoms. What Paul McCartney and Pete Best nailed that condom onto a wall before lighting it and almost set the whole building on fire that way. This was seen as arson which in deed was prohibited.
Rule #1 all facts may be out of date or inaccurate, so maybe lists like this can always be subject to update.
well "renewable Energy" isn`t technical correct, since we can only transform energy from one form to another form of energy (example solar energy gets transformed into electricity energy to be used etc.)
11:05 not to mention the car.... 😁
@1:50 Wow, for some reason you got it exactly right, even though the video is not just misleading but wrong in how they phrased it. You'll still get punished for everything else, e.g. if you need to destroy something or attack somebody whilst breaking out of prison.
Re: the bomb cleanup from WWII, France has a similar thing from WWI. Look up the "Récolte de Fer" (Iron Harvest) and "Zone Rouge" (needs no translation). The world wars are still very much with us.
Yes... for example, last Friday they defused one in Offenbach, a few days before that in Hanau, every now and then in in Frankfurt... (these 3 are relatively near eachother -distance wise).
Now, there have been incidents ever since the end of the war, however, videos like that make it seem like every finding leads to tragedy, when in reality, the process is in place to prevent those.
Now for ppl in the affected area, it's a huge inconvenience, not denying that. But unless you actually live in Frankfurt or so, you likely go through life without even hearing of a finding in your area.
If we do live or just work in Frankfurt (for example) we basically just sigh and - at most - check where exactly, in order to see if it'll affect our commute.
The thing about 1% HIV- immunity is, that they are actually immune to the pest (which ravaged through germany several times and fell together with the 30 year war, a collective trauma to this day). Immunity to the Pest also grants immunity to HIV for some reason.
That's because Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes the Black Plague (Pest) and the HI-Virus use the same way to enter the T-cells of the immune system. The bacteria uses the T-cells to travel to the lymph nodes where they then leave the T-cells and infect the lymph nodes directly. The HI-Virus stays in the T-cells and incorporates its own RNA into the cell's DNA.
Due to the many deaths caused by the Black Plague in the middle Ages most of the people who survived it were immune to Yersinia pestis (and also HIV, even if they didn't know it back then), but because it was so long ago the percentage of immune people has gone down since then. Also it's not just Germany that has some immune people, it's all of Europe. 🙂
About renewable energy one, sadly, has to state that bio mass is counted as a renewable source of energy in the country. Germany imports most of the bio mass. The problem is that this bio mass consists of shredded forests to an uncertain degree. It is not sufficiently monitored if the forests out of which the bio mass is soruced are managed in a sustainable way.
10: That was a long time ago, Google and the German company that takes care of the rights and payment of the artists couldn't come to an agreement for a long time - that's why a lot of songs were simply blocked in Germany. Google and GEMA have now reached an agreement.
18: in 2024 it's ~60% renewable Energy

Yes, even foreigners can go to university in Germany for free. The problem will be qualifying to do so. For example with a German school education (Abitur) US universities give you a Bachelor degree in half the usual time.

Running out of fuel is really hard in Germany. There is just no long distance like you could do in the US
Fun facts:
- Hamburg has more bridges than any other city in Europe.
- The UA-cam Videos are blocked because of copyright problems.
The German GEMA is a company that aids artists with asserting copyright claims. While this is great for artists on the one hand, GEMA does control the claims business and will get anyone who infriges the copyright of their signed artists. They lobbied for more rigorous copyright laws. In Germany but also in Europe in general, copyright and privacy laws are very strict. Anyone can report infringements to social or other media. That's why so many videos get banned. Even videos whose publishers own the rights may get banned out of mistake.
Actually, the info about Hugo Boss is wrong. Boss wasn't a designer back then, he and his company was one of a host of contract manufacturers for uniforms, based on designs they were given.

Escape from prison is not punished, but, every crime you commit during the escape, and while you're on the run, will be prosecuted and punished. For instance, if you hurt one of the guards, who tries to stop you from escaping, you will be prosecuted for this crime, or if you steal money, while on the run, you are going to be prosecuted for theft.
Well, you can try to flee prison. But that means that instead of having your sentence nulled after 2/3 of its time passed you will sit in the jail for the whole sentence, because you have misbehaved. (No early release for "Gute Sozialprognose")
30% renewable is outdated, 2022 it was 48,3%

At the end of 2002, renewables already made up at least 45% of Germany's electricity power mix. The video is a few years out of date.
its not ilegal to run out of fuel but its ilegal not to have a emergency jerycan with spare fuel and a signal triangle in case of a breakdown
Currently the quote of renewable energy in Germany is up to 48% of last reports.

It is not illegal to escape from a prison, but is illegal to saw you through the bars outside of your window. So when you get cought you dont get an penalty for the escape but for the damage to foreign property! 🙂

The term illegal is unclear. It is not a fellony to run out of gas on the highway. It is an infraction or public nuisance.
I resent the "most capitalist country" bit.
We have a social market economy, which is a form of capitalism, but by no means the most capitalist one.
