    Italy Proposes Draconian One-Strike Anti-Piracy Law

    Fuck'em and fuck'em hard!

    From the article:

    In recent years Italy has taken several far-reaching measures to thwart online piracy, including a nationwide block of The Pirate Bay and BTjunkie. Building forth on this tough stance, lawmakers are now proposing several new measures that will put Internet users at risk of losing their connection after one alleged infringement. Even worse, these copyright complaints can be sent by anyone, not just the copyright holder in question.

      Pretty ironic that one of the most corrupt countries in the world is also one of the first ones to fight piracy.

        I think the fact it's one of the most corrupt countries in the world may explain why they're doing it.

          Yeah, they understand the effects of corruption better than most countries and they want to protect their intellectual property for future generations.

            On topic: Why is Italy one of the most corrupt countries in the world? Just curious.

              Three reasons: Camorra, 'Ndrangheta and Mafia
