Illegal in Austria, and the court apparently never served notice to CloudFlare.

The simple solution is for Austria to ban or sanction CloudFlare if they think they are doing something illegal.

If you think my trucking company is smuggling drugs, you don't just ban a few trucks with certain license plates regardless of cargo.

Cloudflare ignores 100% of email sent to abuse@, so take their claim of never being notified with a huge pinch of salt.

Cloudflare are the biggest hypocrites. Blocks anyone they want in the name of stopping "abuse" but cries when they get blocked for breaking the law.....

I mean I'd hope a court would contact there legal department rather then just sending a random email to abuse.....

The company is responsible to respond to abuse reports. It should be a valid email to get though to legal.

I think a court might just find the listed address for the ip owner and send a mail there. They certainly would not spend time trying to figure out whom to email.
