Comment (by bedas):

 Perhaps the Google FAQ Should be considered before A) condemning someone
 to pay fines as a court and B) investing work in something that, if I
 understand the FAQ correctly, is not even happening:
 https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq#what_does_using_the_google_fonts_api_mean_for_the_privacy_of_my_users

 To my understanding, Google does _not_ log any IP address when using their
 fonts. Thus on what this German court even based their decision? Hearsay?
 Where is the proof this data was actually logged by google? I find it
 weird that the court would fine the small webmaster for 100 Euro when they
 could go after google and fine them for probably hundreds of millions, if
 this would be really happening. And probably, as per Google's own
 statements, it is not happening.

 What do I miss here?

 PS: Of course it is great to  self store the fonts - always a good idea.
 But it seems to me that the reason is not a real concern?
