About Spanish blockage
Hi! I'm living and working in Spain and being constantly a victim of the blockages because of the football matches. I've put some claims on my provider (movistar), but they only they are aware of the situation and that's all. I also there's some legal procvedure (whcih doesn't seem to be going that well) and wanted to know if there's something we could to to support, like reuninting signs or whatever action that os being held against this -almos fascists if you ask me- random mass IP blockages to CF.
Thanks.

La Liga (Spanish Football league) is blocking many of Cloudflare's IP ranges in Spain due to allegations of football piracy.
As of March 31st, Cloudflare is suing over this indiscriminate blocking. We recommend telling your local government official how this is impacting you.
This blocking impacts a subset of customers, upgrading your zone plan may resolve the issue but that is not a guarantee.
If you're an Enterprise customer, you can use Cloudflare BYOIP to use your own IP address and avoid any blocks against Cloudflare CDN IPs.
Yes, I know I can do those "on my own", I was asking if there was some centralized organisation already about it managed by CF.
I actually use CF for proxy as I don't want bots bombarding my server, so exposing my IP is not in my to do list, I'd rather host my own nameserver if I had to do so actually
I know they are sueing them - mentioned it in OP -, and it is not going well, the judge desestimated the case and now they are about to take it to the constitutional tribunal, but that doesn't seem to be better. It is common here to ask for signatures when pushing this kind of stuff, that's why I asked about that, thanks anyway.
