Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content
Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content
The new measures are set to be added to the country's Piracy Shield
You're viewing a single thread.
So will the Italian government provide an Official List of Pirated Content or do the VPN providers need to determine it manually?
[Speculation]
They'll probably get a list of hashes from major copyright holders. So the biggest torrents won't work, but you'll still be able to pirate small-time artists.
But the individual network packets are usually at most 1500 byes long, and applications encrypt the content. Hashing doesn't prevent jack squat. It's more likely to be DNS + IP blocks
How would a hash help? The dns just gives you info to resolve the destination, not the content.
They would need to map the trackers most likely
