I'm from germany too and I don't mind spending money on movies, TV shows and music at all. However my requirements are that the film is in english and music is lossless. Turns out you need a lot of patience if you don't want to use bittorrent. I'm sorry but waiting for the international bluray release is not an option - i probably forgot about the movie by the time. Lossless audio stores with a good selection are even harder to find - I ran across several albums that "weren't available in your country". Really? Do you really want me to turn to my what.cd account? This is by far the most convenient "music store" and that fact should be a shame to the music industry. Recently i noticed a french store named Qobuz, with a great selection of formats (flac, alac, aiff, 24 or 16 bit) and music (indie and popular) - Unfortunately they are not allowed to sell any album in any country either, but you might get lucky there. And those are just stores that sell music - Don't get me started on streaming and locker solutions. So please, dear content industry, as long as a private torrent tracker run by a handful of enthusiasts is, in terms of selection, audio quality, compatibility, availability and even catalog management or recommandations, a better experience than official and legit stores, don't complain to me about piracy.
