It was Internode that put up the fight initially. They were then bought by iiNet, who was then purchased by TPG. One great company was subsumed into a pretty-good one, which was then taken over by a mediocre-to-poor one.

So, they've already lost in the German courts vs. ABP; why do they get to keep going after other companies with the same bogus arguments?

Generally these sorts of draconian measures seem to filter down from China, to the UK, then to Australia and New Zealand, Canada, and then the United States. From end to end it takes about 10 years.
