I'm confused about how any of this can be cloudflares fault. That's like blaming the electricity supplier because someone is using that electricity to grow weed.
Its a Japanese court, you're basically guilty the second you're accused.
The court ruled that cloudflare made it too easy to register an account and create a domain. And that they didn't do enough to prevent those domains from being used for piracy.
Apparently under Japanese law that's the barrier of proof they needed to cross.
Em, because electricity is a fundemental force that you supply to someone and he uses it, unlike hosting a website which is something hosted on a server and you have full control and access to see what you are hosting.
That is like saying why is it the chef's fault that he put poison in a meal when he did it because someone paid him to do it, he might not have known about it but he is a expert in his field and shoult know to check and not put the fucking poison in.
