U.S. Judge Asked to Collect $1.4M Moldovan Judgment Against Cloudflare

Two book authors are asking a U.S. federal court to enforce a foreign $1.4 million piracy judgment against Cloudflare.

For example, rightsholders continue to complain that the company helps pirates conceal their hosting locations and identities, as was made clear again in recent submissions to the European Commission. In Moldova, for example, book authors Eugeniu and Radu Turuta, sued Cloudflare and several of its customers, including the anonymous operators of file hosting platform doku.pub. This ruling was appealed, with the higher court taking a different stance, emphasizing the responsibility of CDNs to actively combat copyright infringement within their networks.
