This operation probably cost ten times whatever the streaming/tv companies said they lost.
100% corporate law enforcement.
In Italy there's a distopia called "Piracy Shield" that is banhamming random sites (for a day also Google Drive was banned WTF). Is an IP ban system, so you cannot escape changing DNS, is directly controlled by Lega Calcio; they can ban an IP for no reason in about 30 minutes. (Fun fact: it's supported by a law that requires ALL VPNs of the whole world follow the ban LOL)
So the Italian government gave to a private company the power to virtually shutdown the internet in Italy.
Imagine if these agencies investigated crimes.
clearly, they are underworked if they have time for this bullshit.
Corporate law enforcement corps.
Feels like we are really being targeted lately. So frustrating to hear this is a global priority with all the significant issues affecting humanity that these efforts could be directed towards.
