It really doesn't matter.

The issue isn't "some people don't pay for sports streams". The issue is that some corporate fucktards have managed, through the power of lobbying, backroom deals and blatant corruption, to get an engine of country-wide internet censorship to be created - and then abused on their behalf.

This isn't the first, or the tenth, time it happens. People should have been sued, fired and jailed after the first time they blocked the entirety of Cloudflare for inane "copyright" reasons - and yet, nothing was done, and the censorship persists.



Perhaps take some of the emotion out of it? I’m asking for perspective and history on the issue, not clueless as to why the situation is bad. This is a US hosted forum, the issue is happening in Spain. Perhaps clarity is called for that’s not specified in the article?


Why are you tone policing a victim of corporate abuse?


Because they’re swearing at me. Do you like to be aggressively attacked for trying to discuss something? I didn’t even ask anything offensive or insinuate that LaLiga was somehow in the right, yet the commenter chose to bite my head off. I didn’t ask the question to start a fight, I asked it because the article did not specify anything historical about the situation.

Just because you’ve been abused doesn’t give you the right to be a riled up aßhole to anyone that triggers your emotions.


If you choose to be offended on behalf of LaLiga's fucktards? That's your problem, not mine.

I am incredibly pissed off about any attempt to enact Internet censorship - whether political or corporate in nature. And so should be you.


Which part was swearing at you?


Swore at you?


> The issue is that some corporate fucktards have managed

Yeah are you new to swear words?


That would be "swearing in your vicinity" not "swearing at you".

A distinction clear to those with long familiarity to swearing and swear words.


Swearing at someone directly or indirectly is irrelevant. I didn’t write any commentary that deserved such an emotional reaction. Go find a corporate stooge and call them that then instead of writing strongly worded emotional outbursts online at strangers seeking information in a casual conversation.

Cool.
