Cloudflare takes legal action over LaLiga's "disproportionate blocking efforts"
Cloudflare has launched a legal action against LaLiga over IP blocking action that it says blocked millions of users from accessing unrelated websites.
As reported in Broadband TV News, websites DazcFutbolios and RBTV77 were last weekend blocked in a joint action by the Spanish football league and local ISPs after illegally distributing LaLiga matches. “LaLiga secured this blocking order without notifying cloud providers, while concealing from the court the predictable harm to third parties and the public good. Cloudflare hopes this legal action helps prevent future indiscriminate blocking measures, and makes it clear that rightsholders cannot prioritise their commercial interests over the fundamental right of millions of consumers to access the open Internet.”
