After focusing on IPTV services offering pirated live football matches from Italy’s Serie A, legal amendments adopted by telecoms regulator AGCOM last week will widen the scope of the Piracy Shield blocking platform. The now-infamous claim, that pirate streams will be blocked inside 30 minutes, now applies to movie and TV premieres, and other events broadcast live. The more serious issues concern VPNs, DNS providers and whoever AGCOM decides to pursue next.

    Hahahah good luck with that. Most live music stuff I see comes from youtube and twitter. Are they going to shutdown youtube like that? I’m sure google will be extremely happy to hear it. Can’t wait to see them try and watch the consequences in real time

      They have before. They also shut down whole blocks of Cloudflare any time they want.
