A Spanish court has refused to fine NordVPN in a case linked to LaLiga’s fight against illegal football streaming.
Earlier this year, a court ordered VPN providers like NordVPN and ProtonVPN to block access to pirate football streams. LaLiga later asked the court to punish NordVPN for not following the order.
However, the court decided not to issue fines after accepting that there was a real technical dispute about whether the blocking could actually be done by the VPN provider.
The decision is important because it shows how difficult it can be to apply anti-piracy rules to VPN services.
VPN companies say their systems are built for privacy and security, not for monitoring or blocking specific content.
The bad thing is the ruling does not cancel the original order
