Pezzotto: with the new order you are at risk of imprisonment

throw theincreasingly bad air for loved ones Calcio in Russian for free: inside Read the order to everyonein fact, the government majority has introduced an amendment (and passed it in the Senate Finance Committee and in the House Budget Committee) which includes for the first time a prison sentence for some subjects, which knowingly but indirectly favor the pezotto.

The Omnibus DL is being voted on today Assemblywith confidence, and then it will be put to a vote Camera withOctober 8most likely again with confidence. This means not only that there is a definite agreement on the order, but also impossible to change and, therefore, to remove the change of prison.

DL Omnibus: those at risk

The change includes the prison for the piece providing for new criminal duties for Internet service providers and for providers of two specific services: with VPN hey Distributed DNS.

The VPN they are now famous A virtual private networkthat is, virtual private networks are mostly used for make users anonymous and to imagine the connection from other countries, besides Italy.

Distributed DNS, on the other hand, is a service intended for those who manage sites and online resources. Thanks to this service, the user can find the site or resource just by typing its name, even if he changed his IP address. Because of the platform Shield of piracy it does nothing but block the IP addresses of the pirates, who immediately change their address and continue to spread, it is clear that DNS management proves that it is a essential service for the piece.

With the new change, managers need VPN and distributed DNS report immediately to the Police Forces any pirate data streams, if the sure that such data refers to illegally transmitted content. If they don’t, they risk up to one year in prison.

Everyone is against the change

The real one the applicability of this change It is very doubtful, because it would be necessary to establish it by law, or by sentence, when it is certain that the traffic to be blocked is illegal (in many cases it is encrypted traffic). However, there has already been one rebellion against this change.

L’Italian Association of Internet Providers (AIIP)which he had before collaboration on the creation of a Piracy Shield and about the whole anti-pezzotto infrastructure, now he talks about “temptation” and “an initiative that reflects two years of commitment and loyal cooperation from the department“.

Also the opposite ASTELthe trade association to which he belongs Confindustria which represents the telecommunications supply chain. According to the association, of course, “Criminalizing telecommunications operators is not useful in combating piracy“.

Another voice is the opposite voice Provideran association representing small and medium-sized Internet service providers in Italy and in the past they tried to block Piracy Shield legally. For Giovanbattista Frontera, president of Assoprovider, it is “a harsh and unfair measure“that”it not only endangers the personal freedom of operators in the sector, but risks paralyzing the entire telecommunications system in Italy“.

According to Assoprovider, in fact, Internet Service Providers do not have the ability or skills to verify what traffic is relevant in terms of crime. The new legislation would overburden the judicial system and adversely affect competition, as small providers are less equipped than large ones to handle the workload resulting from mandatory reporting.

Finally, again according to Assoprovider, the obligation to monitor traffic, finding small content to be reported immediately, would be against the current rules about privacy of network users.
