Twitch IPs Blocked in Spain Over the Weekend as LaLiga Expands Anti-Piracy Measures
LaLiga’s intensified anti-piracy campaign in Spain has led to the blocking of numerous IP addresses, including those associated with Twitch, by Spanish ISPs. This action, aimed at curbing unauthorized streaming of football matches, has inadvertently disrupted legitimate services and businesses relying on shared IP infrastructures. Critics argue that such broad measures resemble unaccountable internet censorship, lacking transparency and affecting innocent users. Despite collaborations with tech companies to mitigate piracy, the approach has raised concerns over its impact on the broader internet ecosystem.
