Piracy is the smallest problem of Cloudflare.
I run multiple honeypots and trash mail addresses for collecting spam and phishing mails and there is a huge number of phishing and scam websites which are protected by CloudFlare.. but that's only a small part: I did some research and found many ponzi-shemes, markets for stolen CreditCards and general crime forums which are all protected by CloudFlare for months or even years.
CloudFlare is pretty much the worst company I can think of. Blocking harmless Tor and VPN users through unsolvable captchas on every website they "protect", while talking about an open Internet and freedom of speech.
These hypocrites only block websites if they get some cheap PR, in reality they give a shit offering their services to criminals.
In front of torrent trackers and protecting sites with 100% copyrighted content.
I've sent them +500 copyright claims over the years. It's really complicated, slow and they never take any action against these sites even after 10+ valid claims.
There's no way to follow tickets. The process requires an online form to be filled then follow-ups are by email (with no way to see the status of tickets). Tracking these claims one-by-one is the hardest I've ever seen because you don't get a ticket number after you fill the online form or get an email right away. You have to manually follow them up.
The process has never been updated to be easier for the end-user in 8+ years (since my first DMCA abuse report).
