Countering online piracy: a critical examination of the anti-piracy law.

The article we offer you today is quite different from what has been proposed in the past. The article on the MagIA.news website presents itself as a careful and meticulous analysis of the anti-piracy law 93/2023 - containing ‘provisions for the prevention and repression of the unlawful dissemination of copyright-protected content via electronic communication networks’.

The examination carried out then goes on to analyse several crucial aspects of the law itself: one of these seems to be the recent introduction of the Piracy Shield platform, active as of 1 February 2024, whose purpose is to provide the automated management of reports of unlawful content on the web. Another good example concerns the extension of the obligation to block IP addresses to VPN service providers, regardless of their legal seat - a considerable challenge for privacy and security.

What has been mentioned is only a brief summary of the major changes taking place - for the complete list of changes and additions made, we recommend reading the text in full.
