American Internet infrastructure company Cloudflare is pushing back against increasing calls to broaden pirate site blocking in the EU. The company notes that since similar efforts in Spain and Italy have resulted in extensive collateral damage, there's a need for more transparency and constructive collaboration on the anti-piracy front. Cloudflare also wants rightsholders to pay for their overblocking mistakes.

In Italy they are aiming to block not only soccer streams but any audiovisual content. And they are threatening to fine people using the sites, unlike before, when only the site owners could be prosecuted.

I remember reading a story about how the North Koreans would dig tunnels under the border. It took years and the ultimate goal was to dig all the way to Seoul. I remember feeling bad for all the time and man hours the North Korean state wasted on this stupid protect. This reminds me a lot of that.
