Cloud-based web application platform Vercel is among the latest companies to find their servers blocked in Spain due to LaLiga’s ongoing IPTV anti-piracy campaign. In a statement, Vercel’s CEO and the company’s principal engineer slam “indiscriminate” blocking as an “unaccountable form of internet censorship” that has prevented legitimate customers from conducting their daily business.
If the European authorities don’t intervene, this will continue to happen shamelessly. These people’s political and media power in Spain is enormous.
three things that seem to be untouchable In Spain:
Yesterday I was thinking about this, it is like authorities don’t give a fuck about piracy until someone local complains about it. Years ago it was about the music but it turns out is wasn’t the musicians who were complaining, it was the society in charge of collecting and distributing the money between the copyright holders (sgae), those were corrupt as fuck and after a couple scandals I haven’t heard about them much.
Bullfighting is opposed by at least half the country’s politicians, and fewer and fewer people are watching it. Many areas have taken measures against it, and without further ado.
The monarchy has great protection in the media, but on the street, most people criticize them without a problem. There’s a reason the instructions refuse to hold a referendum outright.
Football is different. Of course, there are people who criticize it, but a large part of the population is happy for their team, or the president of their team, to manipulate the politician in charge to gain something. Support for other institutions has many more flaws.
