Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content
-
Won’t happen. Enforcing this would cost way too much.
-
Hm, isn't Airvpn based in Italy?
-
Heh... Good luck forcing VPN to do anything!
-
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...
-
Has no log VPN
"We have no record of anything, oh well."
-
Tor + vpn can circumvent these blocks?
-
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.
-
Not mentionning that anyone can set up their own VPN server… Good fucking luck with that
-
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.

How many of these soccer stadiums have been build with tax payer money?
-
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?
-
Important note: wages in Italy are VERY low.
45€/month is a significant expense. -
France has been attempting the exact same thing recently.

"The Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it."
-
I bet there comes the day that I need to share access to my server to allow people from other countries accessing the real free web through me…

🤮
Imagine stuffing so much cash in the butt of a rich guy, only to look how other, most likely better earners than you, play against each others using a tiny ball.
I don’t get sports fanatics…
