They need to lecture these guys very seriously. La Liga is disrupting completely legit and business critical (probably in some cases safety critical) infrastructure, to.. combat piracy of entertainment content? The Spanish government is seemingly complicit. Feels like 2010 in some corrupt pseudo-democracy.

Lecture? They should be stripped of their intellectual property rights.

There’s a body of the law in the US called misuse of copyright/trademark that exists for this exact purpose.

If it were actually enforced, none of the major sports leagues or media ownership firms would hold any copyrights or trademarks anymore.

The judiciary in Spain is de facto controlled by the main opposition party (PP).

Both parties are exactly the same thing.

Tebas and PSOE in the same league? (no pun intended). I doubt it.
