LaLiga is relying mostly on EU Copyright Directive and DSA to enforce their blocking rights.

EFF is a Californian organization holding a big treasure chest (60M USD), in surplus of donations, that does not operate in European courts.

In terms of donations, even if you would give them 50'000 USD it's a rounding error in their budget (just put it on the pile).

For example Xnet can actually go to Spanish courts but they have less money in total in their bank than the average salary of a random EFF employee.

The problem does affect the US, which is why I mentioned a US organization. I don't see how the surplus affects anything. I don't believe they have enough funds for everything.
