The way I would get the IP addresses is to threaten the redtube.com website with a copyright infringement lawsuit and offer them to sell the IP addresses instead. Win-Win.
Another way is to set up other websites that redtube users would likely visit (maybe even advertise from redtube), then find out if they have visited certain links on redtube. There may be certain exploits to do that, be it flash or even the css "old links" trick. Then you could at least claim that the IP addresses actually visited the videos in question even though the site did not cooperate and no wiretapping was necessary.

Not by German privacy laws. IP addresses are considered "personal" data, and selling it to a third party would be quite costly if discovered.

The IP owner and the redtube website both aren't residing in Germany.
