> I'm dumbfounded at the idea of using real-life courts to enforce real-life sporting events' streaming rights by getting rapid injunctions against DNS providers

It could always be worse, like here in Spain, where they got one court order a few years back, and just arbitrarily block half the internet (i.e. all of Cloudflare) whenever the futbol is on...

Ah is that what's happening? I thought Cloudflare hated me. Thanks, I will check that next time it happens.

I have zero awareness of when futbol is on because I hate sports. So I didn't correlate it.
