If LH does not want to have pax booking tix ex TIP, the y should stop offering these!
It is not illegal to take advantage of price differenciation as that is part of LHs marketing decisions.
This is not a lawyers, but an economical/business-wise opinion!
There won't be any problem for booking and flying such routing ex TIP even if you're german res. But if you don't use your first segment LH will cancel the hole reservation for sure.
