This is a preliminary injunction, so not the result of a full court case - which will certainly follow as Uber will appeal. Nonetheless, AFAIK this injunction is different from the last ones as it is a court injunction and unlike the others can be enforced until it has been overturned. I'm curious to see how Uber reacts. The penance btw. can also be 6 month of prison for the CEO.
If this gets upheld in court, UberPop (UberX) is done for since that's unlikely to ever qualify. UberBlack may qualify, but it remains questionable if it's financially interesting.
The original injunction is here http://docs.dpaq.de/7814-beschluss-landgericht-ffm_uber-taxi-deutschland_2014-09-01.pdf http://docs.dpaq.de/7814-beschluss-landgericht-ffm_uber-taxi... [pdf, german]. Also a good read for all german speakers is the response of Hamburgs administration to Ubers appeal for its injunction https://fragdenstaat.de/files/foi/18835/2014-07-28-hh-bwvi-untersagung-mit-zwangsgeld-uber_anoymisiert_geschwaerzt.pdf https://fragdenstaat.de/files/foi/18835/2014-07-28-hh-bwvi-u...
