Reading the article: A ruling body filled with randos puts a site on a block list and every VPN operating in Italy must block the site within 30 minutes. There is no review or judicial oversight to sites added to the block list. This seems to include all forms of VPNs, including corporate ones. They could start charging a premium to Italian users which would start affecting businesses, I guess.
Lol. It’s common place for companies to use pirated software in order to reduce costs.
Licences and subscriptions can get expensive, so when companies get forced to increase costs, they tend to fuck off somewhere else.
Lol. You think Italy is rich? The lower you go down the boot, the poorer the leather.
Remember the bridge that collapsed because the company that built it cut corners? That’s the standard of business there.
The bridge was near Genova, in the North, btw. For good or for bad, Italy is still a member of g7, and despite the gazillion problems, relatively to other countries, it is a rich country.

How would it affect their economy?

In poorer countries, sure.
In most 1st world countries, using pirated software is basically giving groups like FAST a licence to fuck you out of business.
Italy isn’t a 1st world country. It only looks that way at the top.
It’s really not.
In poor countries sure, but not the US or Europe. You will get sued and you will pay if you do that at any scale.
