You don't block an entire tram line just because there are pickpockets on board some trams The "solutions" implemented here in Italy are not solutions, but abominations imho

This isn't a good analogy because the people being pickpocketed and the people on the trams are the same people.

A better analogy is blocking the tram line because it interferes with some guy's antiquated business model.

Correct. A single stall is a single stall.

>Italy has an administrative blocking mechanism and a technical blocking platform, Piracy Shield, operated by rightsholders in the private sector.

>There’s almost zero transparency and any information of any use is routinely withheld from the public, even when that information relates directly to the public. People who demand access to information are routinely ignored, even punished.

Imagine selling out your country this bad.
