Italy Fines Over 2,200 Pirate IPTV Subscribers in New Crackdown
Italy has taken a significant step in its fight against IPTV piracy by issuing fines directly to subscribers. This week, 2,282 users across the country received fines, typically starting at €154. This marks a notable move in holding end-users accountable, a decision widely praised by the country’s top football executives.
The crackdown is backed by Law 93/2023, introduced in 2023, which enables fines of up to €5,000 for repeat offenders. Authorities have made it clear that this is not a one-off event; activities are underway to identify other pirate IPTV subscribers, with three additional Prosecutors’ Offices launching investigations to identify more targets.
