The courts can absolutely get Cloudflare to comply with orders. The only reason this doesn't happen is that the people asking for the blocking come with a list of IPs. | ||||||||

You’re eSplaining my own argument back to me. Cloudflare’s whinging is they shouldn’t be required to block entire swaths of IP ranges because they have legitimate customer traffic there; their opponents (rightly) state that because of how Cloudflare and the internet works, the only real way to stop these piracy streams are wholesale service blocks, because of how easily specific IP or domain blocks can be bypassed. The centralization of power is the problem, and as I say near the end: > …I can’t quite figure out a way past that under the current piecemeal system of the internet and the financial incentives for consolidation and centralization. | ||||||||
