Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content
The new measures are set to be added to the country's Piracy Shield
You're viewing a single thread.
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?
The only options you have are:
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.
Important note: wages in Italy are VERY low. 45€/month is a significant expense.
🤮
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.

Most people just want to watch a match of their home town/favourite team maybe once a week. This is very moderate, what's so bad about that? However in order to do that they either have to either spend an absurd amount of money to get access to all matches, or spend a bit less money to play lottery and hope the match they wanted to watch gets selected.
How many of these soccer stadiums have been build with tax payer money?
I think all the big stadiums actually used for these big matches are privately built and owned?
That would be unusual. Most sports stadiums in most major cities are heavily subsidized by the city/state (e.g. tax payers), especially in public transportation. I'd be surprised if even a small % were 100% privately funded.
Wow, that's way worse than I imagined. No wonder people watch illegal streams!
