#3Yes, we know. Internet does not work in Spain when there are football matches.
It would be more interesting to know if something is getting done about this. Other businesses must work, people must communicate, the very same Spanish state must keep working. Is there any protest with at least a slight amount of hope?

#4If only Tebas put this much energy into improving LaLiga's awful and outright shady refereeing and the rampant racism problem.

#5In Italy something similar is happening: they have split the football game rights among different competitors, so that if you want to watch every game you have to spend >100€ monthly (that's very high for our economy).
To this, add the facts that there has been a major hit to illegal streaming piracy and that football games are getting extremely boring in our country (compared to the Premier League or our Serie A of twenty years ago).
The major effect of this is that newest generations aren't giving a shit anymore about football, much less than their parents and grandparents.
These people are trying to milk a cow that will be dry in less than 5 years, unless a major revolution happens in FIGC (Italian Football Federation).

Same in Germany.

Also the same in Germany.
But I am not sure which direction the causality goes. Maybe people are less interested in football because of the shenanigans they are constantly pulling. Or maybe they try to squeeze the remaining audience because people are less interested. It may also not be related at all.

Internet mostly works in Spain when there is a match: one can see traffic figures from the mayor exchange points: they are unaffected.
Big businesses are unaffected, since LaLiga will quickly reverse any block that impacts popular websites and risks triggering significant public outcry.
Most people in Spain don’t care — and many aren’t even aware of the overly broad blocks.
Cloudflare and RootedCON are challenging this in court, but it may take many years before a final outcome is reached.

On the other hand, Serie A started streaming all matches free on YouTube for SEA countries.

#10My server is also unreachable: my website, my projects (which people use)... Because it's on some IP that Vercel uses.
