2001-2008
Brainpool, the company associated with TV Total and Raab, lost before the Federal Court of Justice in a dispute with Hessischer Rundfunk concerning unauthorised use of a programme extract. The ruling served as a reference in later disputes over clips from public broadcasters.
2008
NDR sued Brainpool for 568 000 €, claiming that 309 excerpts from NDR productions had been broadcast on TV Total without payment. The Munich court proposed a settlement of approximately 130 000 €.
2001-2004
TV Total repeatedly used images of a 16-year-old girl and sexualised wordplay involving her name. In February 2004, the Higher Regional Court of Hamm ordered Stefan Raab, ProSieben and the production companies concerned to pay 70 000 € in damages for a serious infringement of personality rights.
2002-2004
A pensioner sought 5 000 € in damages after a segment in which one of Raab's colleagues questioned her in the street about sex with animals. The dispute came before the Cologne Local Court in 2004.
