Cloudflare does not provide the information to the court about the clients that do piracy.

Do they have to, especially if they're not from Spain?
If they want to operate in Spain, yes.
I'm not familiar with Spanish law, but you can see the problem with forcing a company to provide details of customers that are from a different country.

It's a bit like the UK demanding that Apple gave them access to user data of all customers worldwide. Apple correctly told them no and stopped offering end-to-end encryption to UK users.

So, following your example, CloudFlare should stop offering the service to Spanish clients that allow them to break the law.
