Just changing 1 byte (or supplying this information in any kind of way - text, patch or whatever) is already illegal under US DMCA & will be illegal in most eu countries but is not implemented yet everywhere because of current fair use laws from country to country. Germany is most likely on of the first eu countries implementing this eu law in german law
Sweden law is totally crazy as they have totally thrown out fair use (e.g. backup for own use). You may wander who drafts up these laws...
We know this is a problem for ANY site which is supplying files and/or information... These laws are a bad thing as you can not do anything anymore. Even showing a bloodpatch or whatever on your will be illegal one way or another... And the biggest problem that these law are unstoppable...
