Cloudflare can be held liable for copyright infringements committed by its customers, even if the websites in question are hosted abroad. A California District Court concluded that cached copies on Cloudflare’s servers tie alleged infringements directly to the United States.As one of the leading CDN and DDoS protection services, Cloudflare is used by millions of websites across the globe.This includes thousands of pirate sites, including the likes of The Pirate Bay and ExtraTorrent, whoch rely on the U.S.-based company to keep server loads down.Many rightsholders have complained about Cloudflares involvement with these sites and last year adult entertainment publisher ALS Scan took things up a notch by dragging the company to court.
