Spanish Congress approves initiative to prevent indiscriminate IP blocking from LaLiga anti-piracy rulings

Summary

The Spanish Congress is taking action against indiscriminate IP blocking caused by LaLiga's anti-piracy efforts. The Commission on Economy, Trade and Digital Transformation approved a non-legislative initiative, agreed upon by ERC and PSOE, that aims to promote legal changes to prevent court rulings against piracy from inadvertently collapsing third-party websites. The initiative anticipates a reform within the Digital Services Act framework. The PP and Vox voted against the measure, while Junts abstained.
