Dismantling a 22m User Pirate IPTV Service Led to Big Rise in ISP Blocking (torrentfreak.com)

Coordinated by Italy last month, a huge law enforcement operation reportedly 'dismantled' a pirate IPTV service with 22 million users. That's an extraordinary number and shows why countries like Italy have adopted mass site blocking measures. Logic suggests that the removal of such a huge player from the market might reduce the need for blocking measures, if only temporarily. The data shows that in the wake of the action, blocking demands significantly increased.

My contempt for Piracy Shield and my government (as an Italian citizen) is unmeasurable.
