    They want to set precedent to have big tech remotely delete infringing APKs and programs without your authorization.

    This could set a horrible precedent

    Spain in this is close to any dictatorship. Basically some big companies (Movistar/O2 and digi for example) are blocking everything behind cloudflare when there is a football game because of piracy.

    People have reported not being able to work, to access amazon and many other legit sites during games and all because a judge gave La Liga power to order the blocking of webpages without a judicial order, and of course since they can’t know the IP behind cloudflare sites they just block IPs from cloudflare.

    And yet people keep pirating because we have VPNs, and new sites popup every time. No one wants to pay over 100€ monthly to watch football, specially when most people only watch 1 or 2 games per week.
