>By way of demonstrating that such power is unacceptable, it sounds like LaLiga is also trying to get Spanish ISPs to block all VPNs whenever a game is on.

What LaLiga did was get some VPN providers (NordVPN and ProtonVPN) to start blocking pirate streaming websites. They're not trying to block VPNs themselves unless there's other news I didn't find.

And, presumably, if they don't comply with that unreasonable order, they'll next try to get local ISPs to block the entire VPN provider, just as they did with Cloudflare. Repeat as long as there are usable VPN providers.

It is not the job of an intermediary ISP or VPN to help construct a country-wide firewall. If a company wants to go after streaming sites, go take down the streaming site. If the streaming site is out of its jurisdiction, talk to the other jurisdiction. If the that jurisdiction does not care, give up and lose.
