Everything about this reeks of bullshit.
Because it is bullshit…
They have been forced to release a ‘try2’ after less than a year from the first one because v1 was at capacity: there was no more room to add more blocked ip/domains.
And is today’s news that a google subdomain has been blocked.
In try 1 the workflow was:
You may notice that there is no ‘send a warning to the blocked party’.
As often happens, people with the money want a solution to their problem paid for by someone else: unfortunately for them, in this case the only solution with a minimal chance of success is a ‘lock’ on their systems (managed, maintained and paid for by them).
…or someone in the soccer food chain could reduce their profits and propose an affordable subscription…
Oh! Maybe you’re not from Italy and you miss this key piece of information! All this massively useless system has been proposed and happily provided for free (how nice) to the country by the major italian soccer league to defend their right to upsell the streaming rights. When you read ‘illegal sport streaming’ you should get ‘illegal soccer match streaming’ instead.
