    Yeah, and my ISP has been legally told to block all Access to IPTV and do so. Why this happens I don’t understand (or agree with). Going after the source is the only one true way to stop access.

    Cloudflare is a popular service for public torrent sites because they cache the content, protect from DDOS, and hide the server address. They’re not on the hook for what their customers do.

      Agreed! If I had to take a guess, its a Risk vs Reward game so-to-speak. Your ISP doesn’t really have anything to lose by complying, but Cloudflare’s whole business revolves around reputation (something most ISPs clearly don’t care about unfortunately) along with being a massive CDN. To them, the risk of having their reputation sullied by someone going “I don’t like this” and taking down a potentially paying customer’s site makes it worthwhile fighting the legal battles that could come out of not complying with a takedown request.

      Just guessing of course, but it would somewhat make sense.
