With assistance from Spain's leading ISPs, LaLiga continues to block pirate sites, Cloudflare, and thousands of innocents caught in the crossfire. Legal action by Cloudflare and hacking collective RootedCON tried to bring the chaos to an end but their requests were dismissed last month. Meanwhile, a non-profit group is demanding that all ISPs participate in nationwide blocking.

All this because of football. Yet another reason to hate football.

Hate the players not the game. Players being the rights holders.

We hope cloudflare shut down over this. They are basically a giant botnet and protect fash. The internet would be better without them.

Edit: Okay, we were slighty incorrect over the fash part, when pushed and seemingly only when pushed will they block them or shut them down. It's true they still allow themselves to be used as a botnet though.

I pray that you're never in charge of anything, ever.

In this instance Cloudflare is being targeted by the anti piracy people so they're a temporary ally.

We understand but we don't think it's good to forget all the other shit they pull.

Just pirate it over i2p. It's very hard to block it there
