Italian laws against illegal football streaming likely inapplicable
Italy’s recent law aimed at curbing illegal football streaming faces significant challenges in enforcement. The legislation, designed to block unauthorized streams within 30 minutes, may be inapplicable due to technical and legal hurdles. Critics argue that the rapid takedown requirement is unrealistic, given the complexities of identifying and disabling illicit streams promptly. Additionally, concerns have been raised about potential conflicts with European Union regulations, particularly regarding digital rights and freedoms. The law’s effectiveness is further questioned as it may inadvertently affect legitimate content and platforms. Stakeholders emphasize the need for a more balanced approach that addresses piracy without overreaching or infringing on lawful services.
