An explanation and history Abstract: The Italian government, in late 2023, decided to tackle the issue of streaming services providing live streams of Serie A games complaining about a large number of viewers using illegal solutions to access services for free or for a lower fee. They did so by implementing a platform for copyright holders to signal IP addresses and FQDNs involved in providing illegal streaming services, and forcing ISPs to block those addresses in 30 minutes, risking sanctions. Recent additions to the law include a mandate for ISPs to report users who are suspected of using illegal streaming services, with the risk of being convicted to 1 year in prison for not doing it. In this talk I will provide a small timeline of events, with details on the implementation of this set of laws, to warn the RIPE Community about what is happening in Italy. ############################################################### Thank you all for submitting talks and ideas for presentations and see you all next week in Prague!!!
