That's it Mega disappeared in Italy! Italian judges seem to have once again led the way in teaching lessons about how the Internet should work. After some serious censorship measures taken against the torrent sites sites, the Court of Rome banned Mega, the new project of Kim Dotcom, stating that he helps promote the distribution of pirated films.
The court's decision came after the small independent distributor of Italian films, Eyemoon Pictures, complained that two of its films, "The Congress" and "Fruitvale Station" had been distributed through platforms before they hit theaters, TorrentFreak reports.
So, for two movies, an entire cloud storage service was blocked for the entire population of Italy. This prohibition, as stated by the lawyers of Mega, is obviously disproportionate and abusive. In fact, the film distributor could have practiced takedown and Mega could simply delete the content without a trial.
While Mega said it will appeal to the Court of Rome to lift the ban, there are still different ways for Italians to circumvent it, such as by using Google DNS or VPN tools. But according to the Italian court, blocking the entire country is the solution against piracy. Shouldn't the chief justices who issue such decisions have the rudimentary knowledge of how thenetwork;
Punishing a service by banning it from an entire country for the actions of some of them users its pointless and abusive, not to mention censorship.
