A bill that will compel service providers to block IPTV providers, no matter how they are involved, will soon become law in Italy.

In response to plenty of Italians opting to pirate Football (Soccer) matches, and so deny the government taxes on overpriced stadium food, drinks, and the like, the Italian government is making it so they can “order service providers, including network access providers, to disable access to content distributed illegally online, by ‘blocking the resolution of domain names using the domain name system (DNS) and blocking the routing of network traffic to IP addresses uniquely intended for illicit activities.’”

But savvy enough to access the streams… right

Yes, correct. I’m not sure why you tried posting that as some sort of gotcha. It’s much easier for a person to have accessed one of these streams than to change DNS and put on a VPN. While that is very easy for us and people in our circles, I think you’re severely overestimating the technical prowess of the general population.

Most of the time it is just searching for something like ‘football match stream free’. Thats how I first got into piracy when I was twelve years old, only that I streamed anime instead.

Exactly, it’s really easy to access a lot of the streams. There’s little to zero technical knowledge needed so this law will likely be very effective against most viewers as much as that sucks.
