I suspect the reason those cases have been in Germany and not in the US aren't simply that Harald Welte happens to live in Germany, because the US surely has people who would like to put up a fight.
I guess a big part of the reason is that suing in Germany is costly, but not "you'll be poor for the rest of your life" costly.
