European ISPs Want Rightsholders Held Accountable for Overblocking Damage

It's not just Europe. DMCA takedowns in the US: no liability for taking down innocent content.

Really, it comes down to this: censorship is bad. Always.

If someone violates the law, get a court judgement. With the judgement in hand, take down that specific material.

Too much work? Tough...

Such an obvious thing, should have been there from day 1.

The situation in Spain is particularly crazy. How can la liga have this much power over the Internet?

It's their fault to begin with, they should have not caved to blocking anyone, they should have stood firm or offer up the 'Oh no we couldn't possibly figure out how to do that, it's entirely too complicated, you wouldn't understand.' excuse all other tech companies put out whenever they are told to do something trivial.

But hopefully this is the beginning of them growing a backbone.

The real damage from over blocking isn't a few customer service calls to the ISP or a couple of lost customers...

The real damage is the millions of hours of wasted time of the citizens of the nation.

Absolutely.

No such power without consequences if abused.

Put some skin in the game

I hope so, in Spain you can't access anything that uses Cloudflare, even docker images, thanks to LaLiga's president bullshit
