Why does italy hate piracy so much?
The soccer clubs are a big business in Italy so they just force the government to pass a law to be more strict about piracy. Now I think Italy is one of the worst places to be a pirate , because everyone has to stop you from pirating. Your ISP , the DNS server , and even VPN's.
Italian here, it's pretty rare for them to go against little pirates, at most they go against some massive releases or streamers. Also ProtonVPN has servers in Italy with port forwarding that allows piracy, so there's that.
Oh yes of course but as more and more countries become anti piracy Proton will eventually stop doing port forwarding.
