If your geocache is inside a german-speaking country (*), you could use 
opencaching.de instead - they also have much better license terms / 
terms of use and even support bulk downloading of search results in a 
variety of formats. Great for spontaneous geocaching without internet 
access (just download a list a geocaches in your region from time to 
time and store it on your laptop/PDA/handheld GPS).
In case you want to pay (like geocaching.com Premium membership), you 
can just donate to them (e.V. => tax deductible). :)


(*) You are able to add geocaches in other countries, too, but the 
interface is in german only. :(
