You (your client) can still subpoena Cloudflare for the customer's IP if you can get a court to agree that it's infringement and then go after the upstream host. That's seems like a solution compatible with this ruling, and an appropriate amount of lift.
- mmis1000 5y agoSome big parties always try to skip the court ruling and do whatever they want block the site without a law suit directly. Even the court ruling path exists there since forever and accomplish with the problem they claimed perfectly. Either because it is expensive or court obviously won't agree about every flawed claim they created. That isn't really a problem only in America. Some people in Taiwan also tries to pass similar law, end up get backfired when someone noticed it and stop the law creating process everytime. (And they still didn't give up )
- TheCoelacanth 5y agoCloudflare, it seems, was perfectly willing to tell them identify of the customer without even going to court. > Cloudflare's security services do impact the ability of third parties to identify a website's hosting provider and the IP address of the server on which it resides. If Cloudflare's provision of these services made it more difficult for a third party to report incidents of infringement to the web host as part of an effort to get the underlying content taken down, perhaps it could be liable for contributory infringement. But here, the parties agree that Cloudflare informs complainants of the identity of the host in response to receiving a copyright complaint, in addition to forwarding the complaint along to the host provider.
