Axel Springer (not to be confused with Springer, the publisher for scientific papers) is still trying to sue btw, they're trying to go for the angle that Adblocking prevents freedom of the press since it takes away their funding.
And tbh, Axel Springer isn't the most surprising entity to sue for this, the entire publication house is a bunch of asshats, who have been cited for being the most deplorable journalists and in one case someone argued that one should be as mean and rude as legally possible to employees of Axel Springer.
They have also succesfully sued the producer of an Anti-Anti-Adblocker since their Anti-Adblocker was considered DRM by the court (IIRC).
