> I'm dumbfounded at the idea of using real-life courts to enforce real-life sporting events' streaming rights by getting rapid injunctions against DNS providers
It could always be worse, like here in Spain, where they got one court order a few years back, and just arbitrarily block half the internet (i.e. all of Cloudflare) whenever the futbol is on...
Ah is that what's happening? I thought Cloudflare hated me. Thanks, I will check that next time it happens.
I have zero awareness of when futbol is on because I hate sports. So I didn't correlate it.
Some countries turn the internet off when there's a big protest against the government. Others turn the internet off when the football is on telly.
To be fair, football hooligans do look like violent protestors. Except, the only thing they seem to be protesting is their brains.
