Constant Internet blockages by LaLiga

Today, there is LaLiga First Division game. There is also Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Friday no (there is second division), and the weekend, of course, there is both Saturday (the classic, end of the Copa del Rey) and Sunday. That will have a more than likely consequence: indiscriminate blockages of IPS almost all week. Or all.

The situation does not change. The indiscriminate blockages of LaLiga IPS continue. One weekend after another legitimate companies and users are suffering the collateral effects of these measures, which try to combat illegal soccer broadcasts through IPTV services.

Today, there is a game of day 32, and tomorrow the 33rd day begins. There are matches every day of the week (Copa del Rey on Saturday, day 34 Sunday). Source: LaLiga.

De Cloudflare a Vercel. The cuts have especially affected Cloudflare, a gigantic CDN that makes use of IPS that shares thousands of websites, and all of them are affected by these IPS blockages. In recent days we have seen how other similar suppliers have also been affected, and Vercel is the clearest example.

Vercel contra laiga. Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel, indicated last week how his company had been affected by these IPS blocks:

Spain is censoring the Internet by blocking the IPS of the CDN of @sercel, which is the entrance door of millions of applications and websites.

We are working hard to mitigate the problem and restore freedom of expression as much as possible, since they are not very communicative, reserved and are not intimidated by user complaints.

“They have blocked us without further ado”. The chief engineer of this company, Matheus Fernandes, explained how the blocking process had been confusing – “have blocked us without more without telling us why,” he explained in X – and again had affected legitimate companies. Meanwhile, Javi Velasco, another company engineer. He tried to clarify how communication with LaLiga had been strange.

The domino effect of the cloudflare block for Movistar in Spain: "We had an architecture study two days stopped"

What LaLiga says. Our WorldOfSoftware mobile partners received a series of LaLiga communications in which they said the following:

LaLiga detected a very important pirate broadcast brand with streaming website, which also offered IPTV services, hosted in Vercel. From LaLiga a notification was sent to said company to be deactivated. However, this request was not processed until 24 hours later.

With the Vercel company, LaLiga has followed the same process as with any other company where pirate soccer broadcasts are housed. Numerous contact requests that have not been attended have been sent and then working with the Internet service providers, the IPS blockade has been requested where illegal content retransmission has been detected.

LaLiga summons any technological company, whose infrastructure is used by cybercriminals to perform illegal retransmissions, to get in touch to reach a collaboration agreement.

In the end this gets worse. What is happening between LaLiga and Vercel – the versions of both parties do not fit – is a replica of what has already happened with Cloudflare. Be that as it may, that fight of LaLiga against those emissions that violate intellectual property are affecting many users. They continue to pay fair for sinners.

Blockades that do not end when the games end. These blockages, which should not exist in this indiscriminate format, also last much more than they last from the parties. As Velasco explained, they received a first report from LaLiga on April 12 and requested more data – there are often illicit websites that are not real – but LaLiga did not answer. Instead, their IPS were blocked without more. The two Vercel IPS remained blocked for days even though matches were no longer issued.

LaLiga's crusade with football comes long. And with Movistar and Cloudflare they are paying fair for sinners

Quic.cloud is in the same. Another CDN provider called Quic.cloud has also been affected by the blockages and is in the same situation as Cloudflare and Vercel. On their website they have published a statement indicating that “we have tried to contact LaLiga to be able to discuss the situation, but we have not been successful yet.”

This week will be problematic. All these blockages that already affect other CDN service providers seem to indicate that LaLiga measures are not less, but more. That all this week there are broadcasts of First Division football matches propose continuous blockages again, which can make thousands of websites again inaccessible and that many users cannot access them.

#Laligate. Protests for all these problems are beginning to get together in a hashtag on social networks, #Laligagate. Ofelia Tejerina, president of the Association of Internet users, recommended those affected by LaLiga blocks to aim the domain affected to this list, which also shows an estimate of losses by LaLiga blocks.
