ISP with the right to football goes to court to report themselves (not a joke) about piracy happening in their networks.

An old man judge which understand technology as much as I understand biochemistry (nothing) decides that they need to stop piracy, His solution is to give laliga the power to block those illegal streams, that all ISP must comply for the time that a match exist. The judge covers himself by saying, that the blockage can't affect third parties.

All ISP happy comply. It does affect third parties.

Cloudflare (third party) puts a recourse to say that it is affecting their business. The very same old man, decides, that is not going to proceed with that investigation.

So cloudflare needs to to through a different slower legal procedure.

Meanwhile, we have a company with the authority to block what they want thanks to corruption.

Thanks for the summary. I assume this will go up the chain of appeals etc. and on to the EU courts if needed?
