Cloudflare absolutely is in a position to take down domains they're hosting on those IPs while keeping other domains sharing the same IP up.
I think that's probably what they'll be doing in the end, so it's interesting to observe that they haven't done so already. Do they maybe have at least an internal domain reputation system so that long-time customers mostly share IPs with other long-time customers and are less likely to get caught in the crossfire?

They could. On the other hand, why should they? I would much rather see them fight this court order and make it stop across the board.
Cloudflare's customers are distributing copyrighted material. That's basic copyright law, and the host and distributor can easily take it offline after a court request.
Your response assumes I want to see sites distributing copyrighted soccer games taken down, rather than cheered on.

Bit of a strawman, yea? Copyrighted material is flung from one end of the Earth to the other from thousands of places and you want to single out a single entity? How's that 3rd grade education working for ya?
