All the operators give in to LaLiga and its blackmail over the Internet
Internet in Spain will officially be inoperable from now on due to Javier Tebas and La Liga

During the Clásico held last weekend, more than 15,000 IP addresses experienced access issues, leading to the inaccessibility of several domains across different telecommunications operators such as Digi, Vodafone, and Orange. This situation reignites the debate over the growing concern about piracy in Spanish football, a topic that LaLiga seeks to eradicate through IP blocking and the implementation of fines for users who access content fraudulently.
If your Internet is slow, it’s Javier Tebas’s fault
LaLiga, under the direction of Javier Tebas, has intensified its fight against piracy, recently achieving authorization for operators to share information about users accessing Ace Stream channels with pirated content. Offenders could face fines of 250 euros, which has caused discontent among internet service providers. These operators expressed their opposition to the measure, requesting clarifications on how end users would be identified when accessing this illegal content.
The strategy of LaLiga has also evolved, starting with the elimination of pirate signals through cardsharing, and moving towards legal actions against end consumers when the initial measures are not effective. The organization has demonstrated its determination to carry on this fight, despite the resistance from Digi, Vodafone, and Orange, who, after expressing their doubts, decided to withdraw their opposition statements regarding the dissemination of information about infringing users.
The coming weeks will be crucial to observe whether these measures have a significant impact on reducing football piracy in Spain. Meanwhile, users should be alert to the possible repercussions of accessing content of this nature. Rumors indicate that LaLiga plans to intensify its monitoring and continue strengthening its legal actions in this area.
