A historic provision from the Milan court (section specialized in business matters) has rewritten the fate of illegal streaming, accepting an appeal presented by the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A (Lnpa) against Cloudflare Inc., a company that provides digital streaming services security that can bypass access to protected content. Serie B, Dazn and Sky joined the proceedings.

what does the cloudFLare block mean?

Blocked addresses and fines of 10 thousand euros per day in case of failure to comply with the new rules for Cloudflare, and also watch out for its users. The real news is that the American company will be required to provide data relating to customers who use each of its services in the context of illegal streaming. “We express satisfaction with this umpteenth battle won against piracy,” Dazn reported after the ruling. “We know that it is a further important step within a complex strategy currently being implemented and aimed at combating this criminal phenomenon. The blocking of illegal platforms which occurred thanks to Piracy Shield (a platform through which Agcom had already issued block, ed.), have been added the numerous actions of the prosecutors against those who sell piracy but also against those who buy it with the launch of actions on end customers such as sanctions. Now this sentence which comes after that of France, confirms what, inside the criminal chain of piracy that specifically exploits certain services, everyone has a responsibility. Technology must be at the sole service of the lawful use of content. We are happy and we know that the same actions will increasingly continue to re-establish the only thing that matters, legality “.
