American Internet infrastructure company Cloudflare is pushing back against increasing calls to broaden pirate site blocking in the EU. The company notes that since similar efforts in Spain and Italy have resulted in extensive collateral damage, there's a need for more transparency and constructive collaboration on the anti-piracy front. Cloudflare also wants rightsholders to pay for their overblocking mistakes.

Are they gonna do mandatory full system checks of your pc or force your internet provider to hand over all your data? And go over every single torrent to make sure it's not pirated?

Go figure. Probably they are going to monitor traffic somehow to see if you visit certain websites and if you stay on them for too long, they flag you as a pirate. I'm not concerned, I browse the internet through a vpn.

Encrypted traffic and VPN use will be the next thing that flags you as a pirate and triggers a bigger search...

Good luck!
