In this way, the main Internet access operators in Spain, such as Vodafone, Orange, MásMóvil (R, Telecable, Euskaltel), Digimóbil and Telefónica España, will have to block domains that are identified as linked to pirate platforms.
The sentence responds to the joint lawsuit filed by TAD-Movistar + and LaLiga for the protection of the contents of their respective channels, through which LaLiga Santander and LaLiga SmartBank matches are offered.
The lawsuit requested judicial authorization to obtain an agile and immediate tool that allows fight piracy of exclusive sporting events, in line with what was approved by the European Parliament, which in May of this year urged the Member States to enable legal measures in this regard.
The judgment of the Barcelona Court grants LaLiga and Movistar + an authorization to request the blocking of the new domains each week within a specific period, “which allows them to react at the speed required by the dynamism of the pirate content platforms themselves”, LaLiga concludes.
