LaLiga Reports IPTV Players as Illegal
This recent court judgment will give Telofonica more power. It enhances their ability to block pirate IPTV services and various streaming websites.
IPTV providers and subscribers frequently change URLs and IP addresses. This makes them difficult to track down.
LaLiga and Movistar typically needed a court order. This was necessary each time they wanted to block specific IP addresses and domains.
However, the Commercial Court 9 of Barcelona has changed this. The latest court ruling significantly alters the need for this process.
LaLiga can now enforce these blockades weekly. They no longer need to repeatedly seek court orders for blocking.
This means these companies can instantly block access to pirate services. A separate court order for each case is no longer required.
Furthermore, Movistar won a separate lawsuit. This will help restrict various IPTV providers and services.
Movistar needs assistance from ISPs to implement the blocks. They requested that the court allow them to share IP addresses. The goal is to share the addresses of those providing unauthorized streams with other internet service providers.
The Mercantile Court Number 6 of Barcelona agreed. This grants them the ability to continuously provide blocking instructions to local ISPs.
Telefonica states that the blockade must be carried out quickly. It must be done within three hours of receiving the new list.
This is a major victory for both LaLiga and Movistar. They have been targeting IPTV services and illegal streams for years.
It will be fascinating to observe the implications of this ruling. Specifically, whether it leads to increased IP blocking in the future.
