Piracy Shield Source Code & Internal Documentation Leak Online


What is claimed to be the source code of Italian anti-piracy platform Piracy Shield appears to have been leaked online.

Ever since Italian authorities announced their intent to introduce an even more aggressive anti-piracy blocking system than the one already in place, controversy has rarely been far behind. The main ‘fuckpiracyshield’ repository on GitHub was created by a user of the same name; they appear to have joined the site for the purposes of leaking the code online and, after signing up at 15:55 on Tuesday, by 16:50 they were gone. With no assumptions as to who the name refers, a contributor to the Piracy Shield project appears to be someone called Daniele Maglie.
