An Italian court has ordered 'preventative measures' that require the websites of 15 'pirate' IPTV providers to be blocked in the country. The complaint was filed by top Italian soccer league Serie A after IPTV service providers reportedly broadcast live matches without permission. Italian authorities were also heavily involved in the raids that targeted Xtream-Codes and others last year. The big question is how effective these types of blockades can be, given the way that IPTV services are set up.
