Paris Court Issued Simultaneous Site Blocking Orders Against ISPs, DNS Resolvers and VPNs
In a series of simultaneous rulings, the Paris Judicial Court ordered ISPs, VPN providers, and DNS resolvers to block access to 35 sports piracy sites. The orders were requested by Spanish football league LaLiga, which lacked standing as a foreign entity under French law. LaLiga licensee beIN Sports France had to intervene in the cases and secure the blocks in its own name.
