On Friday, Italian financial authorities took down an elaborate streaming piracy operation that had been unlawfully re-transmitting programming sourced from significant services such as Netflix and Sky. An application named CINEMAGOAL was central to this network, which resulted in an estimated €300 million loss for rights holders.
