Which is the article of the código penal which says something like “those who watch an internet streaming without paying money to somebody will be punished with fine or prison”?

If it’s not written down as illegal, it’s legal

In the article he says it's theft, but it's really just a monopoly violation. We should replace the words "theft" and "piracy" in this context with "monopoly violation". That would be a lot more honest.

There’s no such article. Downloading internet files for non commercial use, watching streaming videos is not illegal under any circumstances and implying otherwise is creating a misleading situation

Not illegal for the spectator, but for the streamer, who btw is able provide a more convenient service for LaLiga customers than LaLiga’s partners.
