Yeah, i'm sure the legal department at EA haven't got a single clue about in game advertising.. they're only one of the biggest / most successful video game companies, just like the company I work for has only been developing drugs for well over a century, they haven't got a clue about the pharmaceutical industry.

Unfortunately I had to face it quiet often that legal departments and so called specialists did come to quiet funny results in this area out side of the EU. I have worked with a number of clients in the US and even the legal department at Google is sometimes puzzled by it. In some cases the legal advice in regards to the German data protection law resulted in a shut down of all business inside of Germany as the company could not understand how to act based on the advice they got from the lawyers. Often it is the combination of what is discussed here in Germany plus what is in the pipe of the EU that makes it very hard to find a way to be compliant for an existing law and it's upcomming future changes... As of now I'm happy to be able to watch more ads in Germany and do not need to use the VPN solution. I hope it will stay that way.
