LaLiga denied this Saturday that she is promoting indiscriminate blockages of websites to curb the pirate broadcast of the football matches that play the main Spanish clubs and accused Cloudflare of “Collaborate with piracy using websites as a digital shield.”
In a statement, he explained that over the last days there has been “the dysfunction of various websites throughout the national territory”, which linked “To the blockade of a few IP addresses made by Internet service providers.”
He indicated that these blockages “are carried out in response to LaLiga requests to combat illegal access to its contents, a fact that Cloudflare has facilitated by protecting criminal organizations consciously and in order to profit.”
Therefore, he accused Cloudflare be “collaborating with illegal activities such as pimping, prostitution, pornographymarketing of falsifications, fraud and fraud, among others. “
He added that 2 IP addresses were required by Cloudflare to understand “that provided access to child pornography, a fact that LaLiga has documented and presented as an object of police complaint.”
He also stressed that “this action has been carried out with IP addresses used to access LaLiga contents illegally, which were under the protection of Cloudflare that, like other great American technology, allow mafias and criminal organizations to digitally whiten the illegal content that they stole, which makes them necessary cooperators in crimes against intellectual property, as established in article 270.2 of the Spanish Criminal Code. “
LaLiga’s statement argued that “it is not a massive and indiscriminate blockage” because it has “the absolute certainty and proof accrediting that those IP They are used to distribute illegal content, and share with legitimate content. “
In this sense, he said that “the legal companies that are affected by these blockages are those that Cloudflare has consciously used as a digital shield to hide them, without their knowledge and looked out of it.”
He added that “more than 50% of the pirate IPS that distribute the LaLiga content are white and profit from the criminal activity that helps cover up. “
Finally, he stressed that he has contacted “Repeatedly with Cloudflare to request its voluntary collaboration, to which American technology responded last Friday, February 7, Surprisingly, ratifying their behavior, with unlikely and incoherent technological excuses. “
Therefore, he understands that “LaLiga has exhausted her duty of diligence before resorting to this measure” and warned that “this situation is not exclusive to Spain”, so “similar measures have been implemented in other countries to combat piracy of sports content “.
