It seems like the EU courts need to be involved in this case. Limiting internet to millions of people to make some people rich also flies too close to an human right violation in 2025 so maybe even ECHR can be involved.

They need to lecture these guys very seriously. La Liga is disrupting completely legit and business critical (probably in some cases safety critical) infrastructure, to.. combat piracy of entertainment content? The Spanish government is seemingly complicit. Feels like 2010 in some corrupt pseudo-democracy.

The judiciary in Spain is de facto controlled by the main opposition party (PP).

Lecture? They should be stripped of their intellectual property rights.

		There’s a body of the law in the US called misuse of copyright/trademark that exists for this exact purpose. If it were actually enforced, none of the major sports leagues or media ownership firms would hold any copyrights or trademarks anymore.

Tebas and PSOE in the same league? (no pun intended). I doubt it.

The EU is about to put an end to E2E and scan our messages which is a far worse human right violation.

Right now the EU is for regulation and total control.

Sounds like the ISP shouldn't be blocking hosting providers that are known to honor narrower takedown orders?

The ISPs are compelled by judicial order to take down whatever LaLiga tells them to, and LaLiga is telling them to block the entire IP range. They can’t not do it.

		From vague recollections of previous times this came up, I think this is downstream of the providers getting blocked refusing to cooperate though? I know when eSNI / ECH came out, Cloudflare at least made a point of taking about plans to use it to frustrate targeted blocks in hopes that governments would be unwilling to respond by escalating to blanket IP blocks.
