    1. They can only appeal for five days?

    2. IP addresses get reassigned. Unless the block is limited to IPv6, this is asking for trouble.

      that’s why is IMMENSELY stupid. They have permanently blocked 6000 IPv4 addresses, used also by legit hosters like OVH, scaleway, akamai, linode, hetzner, digitalocean, cogent, AWS and cloudflare that are definitely legit and used for other purposes

      5 days for appeal is also ultrastupid because there’s no notification to the owner

      and the pirate just spins a new $5 VM with a new IP address and nothing changes…

        Well it’s not stupid if you block all the up addresses no more piracy. See big brain thinking.
