Italy is promoting its anti-piracy program 'Pirate Shield,' but it has been pointed out that the number of paid subscribers to video streaming services has not increased
Italy’s anti-piracy initiative, ‘Piracy Shield,’ launched in February 2024, has blocked thousands of IP addresses and domains associated with illegal streaming. Despite these efforts, data indicates that platforms like DAZN have not experienced a significant increase in paid subscribers or viewership. This suggests that while the program may reduce piracy, it hasn’t effectively converted users to legitimate services.
