Yea, when there's a match, our app stops playing videos in Spain and we get some bad reviews. It's pretty annoying.

It would if it were bigger business in your country. Try torrenting an MCU movie and see what happens to your ISP account.
Out of curiosity, what does happen?
Heh, lucky you, at least you get a message. My ISP just drops traffic to the affected IPs. No ping, no traceroute, just a spinner in the browser until it says "page not found". Every response and comment from LaLiga, the football organization responsible for this, has been so far that this is a minor issue that only affects a few bunch of nerds who talk about "docker images" or "github repositories" or "whatever that…
All people affected should file a complaint with your ISP and with Oficina de Atención al Usuario de Telecomunicaciones claiming financial loss for arbitrary service censorship.

But you must realize, the alternative to this is that some very wealthy Spanish companies ... lose a small amount of money. Surely you understand now. Go about your business, poor person.
They don't even "lose a small amount of money." They simply gain less money than usual for a short period of time. Think of how rough that is for them.

Just so everyone here has the full picture: the source linked — Assemblea Nacional Catalana — is not a human rights watchdog, an international observer, or a journalistic outlet. It is the main pro-independence criminal activist organization in Catalonia. Citing them as evidence of Spanish human rights abuses is a bit like citing the murderer's wife as an impartial witness. For context, Spain is a full constitutional…

How timely. I was just moving off Github to self-hosted docker registries.

It's ridiculous and wrong what LaLiga does. But it's also a weakeup call to consider ditching cloudflare's centralization.
I'm in Spain as well and it sucks a lot. What I do now is I go thorough Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 VPN (set up on my router). Fixes the issue and there is practically no latency or bandwidth impact.
You mean 1.1.1.1. DNS? Or do they also serve a VPN through that IP?

This is the country that takes a 2 hour nap every day. They also have a sleeping contest every year with a winner and everything. And Spain isn't hot like Mexico where folks take 2 hours off in the topically heat and make it up for it in the evening because that's more efficient.
Have you ever spoken to a person from Spain?
Cloudflare is cancer. And the tumor is now too big.
Spain is mandating their ISPs block cloudflare to stop people from illegally streaming soccer games. Cloudflare isn't the one doing the blocking.
I'm not from Spain and instead of Spanish ISP I get a block from CloudFlare.
Now take a wild guess: which one is bigger - some Spanish ISP or CF?
