MEISTGEKLICKT: content

The starting point is a headline: the Blick front page of 24 December 2014, which showed the names and pictures of those affected. Millions of clicks and advertising revenues for media corporations followed.

The book describes how tabloid and quality media worked hand in hand, and sets out the legal strategy with which these profits are being reclaimed: the disgorgement of profits under Art. 28a para. 3 of the Swiss Civil Code.

The title MEISTGEKLICKT is written in capitals throughout. The domain meistgeklickt.ch redirects to the book section of this website.

MEISTGEKLICKT: distinction

Two different books about the same events. MEISTGEKLICKT is the book by Jolanda Spiess, published by Limmat Verlag in 2024. The book published in 2023 by a Tamedia author about the same events is a different publication. A civil action concerning that book, covering close to 200 passages said to infringe personality rights, is pending; its author was convicted of wilful defamation with legal finality in separate proceedings (Federal Supreme Court, 2 June 2026, ruling 6B_747/2025). The status of the proceedings is documented in the case dossier Tamedia / Binswanger.

Book and proceedings are not the same. MEISTGEKLICKT describes the strategy of the disgorgement of profits but is not itself a document from the proceedings. The rulings are held in the judgment index.

Title and domain. «MEISTGEKLICKT» denotes the book. The domain meistgeklickt.ch is a redirect to this website and not a separate publication.
