Pretty clumsy move, especially for a lawyer, especially for a lawyer who claims to want to protect copyright. He's not jsut kept the image in his private collection, but is serving it to whoever many people visit his site. I have no idea about Germany, but in England it's the sharing with other people that becomes a problem.
He probably couldn't care less about protecting anyone's copyright. He is probably benefiting in some way (personally or politically) and that is why he is pushing for this.
"He is probably benefiting in some way (personally or politically)"
... besides being a politician he is also the chairman of the German music industry organisation. There you go.
