    Never heard of forcing VPN providers to block something. Kinda defeats the purpose. Long live Tor I guess?

      How exactly will they force compliance for companies not based in Italy, or even the EU?

            Supreme fascist control doesn't start immediately. It needs to take one small baby step every day.

              Won’t happen. Enforcing this would cost way too much.

                    With these kind of news from Southern Europe it's always about pirate football streams. How much does it cost to watch football legally in Italy?

                      I am experiencing such banning of providers right now. It is a whack-a-mole, seems futile. Not to mention that most people use sketchy free noname VPNs that are just too numerous. Or apparently some people set up basic XRay/VLESS/whatever and sell it via a Telegram bot...

                            This is actually about having the power of one person in an office wiping out any internet domain from the country.

                              They will use it to jail anyone caught using the internet illegally. Most likely people that are ideologically opposed to them.

                                  You can ban big hosting providers, but even here they're cautious with measures like that because it would break WAY too much. Not to mention that you could just use a lesser-known one, even if it doesn't operate in the country legally.

                                    The only options you have are:

                                    • Dazn Standard (45€/month, 35€/month if you pay for 12 months) to get access to all the SerieA matches (and a whole bunch of other sports nobody cares about)

                                    • Dazn Goal Pass (20€/month, 14€/month if you pay for 12 months) to get access to 3 SerieA matches per week which you don't get to choose (and a bunch of other sports nobody cares about)

                                    • Sky (16€/month for the first 18 months, then whatever Sky wants after that) to get access to 3 SerieA matches per week which you don't get to choose (and a bunch of other stuff nobody cares about)

                                    Most people care only about some specific matches, so your only option is Dazn.

                                    Dazn is also a very crappy service, it often has connectivity problems and also has ads. Fun fact, if you get a connection issue while watching a Dazn ad, it will restart.

                                    So, as usual, monopoly, high costs and crappy services drive piracy.

                                        Don't combine. Just use tor or a VPN.

                                          I think all the big stadiums actually used for these big matches are privately built and owned?
