> The Guardia di Finanza (GdF), the Italian police tasked with cybercrime cases

Bullshit. Guardia di Finanza's first and foremost task is to prosecute tax evasion and smuggling.

Italy is a country with a very high number of tax evaders (I suspect we're among the top evaders in the world), which means that those idiots are not doing their job properly. Really, they don't deserve a minimum of respect whatsoever.

They're waaay too busy getting corrupted from the bosses of big industries who don't want them to stick their nose into their businesses. Way too busy to bring down proxy servers.

Way too busy, in short, to put some effort into turning Italy into a decent place, and not a nation that others laugh at.

Not much to see here.

The site BTjunkie was ordered blocked in Italy. In response, the owner of BTjunkie set up a proxy service, proxyitalia. The court then ordered this also blocked.

In other words, guy thumbs his nose at court, court strikes back.

The beginning of the euro internet firewall.

You can't stop the signal, Mal.
