so either they block all of Wikipedia or pay fines.

Project Gutenberg has just done this with Germany.

German law bans Nazi books, PG doesn't want to go through its content and decide which books to block - and open the can of worms of every city council in every country in the world having its own list - so it blocked access to the whole project from Germany.

I can see a few US 'news' outlets being happy if wikipedia was blocked
