Tyskland publicister fortsätter att stämma AdBock Plus trots flera nederlag tidigare. Nu har programmet och dess utvecklare vunnit den sjätte segern mot Der Speigel.
Tyskland publicister har stämt Google och har också drivit en jakt på annonsblockeringsprogram. För att få igenom ett prejudikat så har AdBlock Plus stämts flera gånger men hittills så har medierna förlorat.
Eyeo GmbH, the company that makes Adblock Plus, has been through no fewer than six court cases by publishers who say blocking online ads violates German law. The ad-blocking company has now won all of its cases at the district level, and one case has been through an appeal. Other cases continue through the German appeals courts.
The final lawsuit was brought by Germany’s best-known media brand, Spiegel Online, run by the same company that owns the newsmagazine Der Spiegel. Yesterday, Eyeo disclosed that its lawyers were contacted by telephone to be told that the case against them has been dismissed. The judge’s reasoning won’t be known until a written decision is released later this week.
