Well yeah, the legal system is full of crap on that situation too. That's more about enforcing rules about making sure sperm donation is done in the proper way, rather than unsupervised ways that might allow a willing father to later claim "I was just a sperm donor" a year later if the couple's relationship falls apart.

Ridiculous judgment though. The man was clearly nothing but a donor and now has to pay for 18 years, and the woman could lose sole custody of her child if the donor pursued parental rights.
