Cloudflare provided a server for “two massive manga piracy sites that distribute over 4,000 manga titles without permission and rack up 300 million views a month,” the publishers said.
At issue in the lawsuit was whether Cloudflare was the main entity in charge of pirated manga distribution.

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.
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.
Its a Japanese court, you’re basically guilty the second you’re accused.
