Italians who simply view pirate IPTV via illicit subscriptions have been warned for months that their activities could be reported to the judicial authorities for potential prosecution. As part of an investigation into a pirate IPTV subscription seller, a total of 23 people have appeared in court in recent months for simply buying a pirate package. Judges in two separate proceedings have now acquitted all 23 after concluding that this type of piracy isn’t actually a crime.
They used their personal prepaid card (one registered to their own name and issued by the public postal service) to pay for the iptv sub.
Happy as I am because this shows that there is no crime in watching those streams, I can’t but stand in awe at the sheer stupidity of these guys.
