So far they have just re-opened the case for re-examination, on Springer's behest. Yes, German corpos can sue as well.

Considering RIAA's takedown of youtube-dl failed so miserably - argued in much the same way as this one - I think this case has little chance of even partial success. (edit: slight correction)

In any case, it will take years to get results. Until then, nothing changed.
