Yaoi Germany's policy was a result of paternal intervention. In 2004, according to frogspace in the comments on a post on otw_news:

I don't know about any copyright related incidents with regard to fanfic, but Yaoi Germany had a run-in with the agency for the protection of minors (Jugendschutz) in 2004. I think a father complained about something his child read in the archive and they had to implement strict rules. That caused a bit of an uproar because most people who posted their fanfic there were minors and some of the offending stories were written by minors. In the end, they found a solution Jugendschutz agreed with. They banned pornography and explained in detail what would be considered pornographic, but they continued to allow sexually explicit material which can only be accessed between 9pm and 6am (UTC+1). You don't need to be logged in to access the stories. [1]
