Last December, a Spanish judge authorized LaLiga to block Cloudflare’s shared IP addresses to combat piracy. Thousands of innocent internet users were affected, prompting Cloudflare and cybersecurity group RootedCon to ask the court to overturn the order. A judge has now denied both requests, stating that no evidence was presented to show that blocking caused any damage.
Heh,
how about forcing LaLiga to show evidence about damages? Because surely everyone who pirated their content would have paid if free streams weren’t available, right guys???
This is about their right to block a range of IP addresses. I don’t think they’re suing for damages.
