The new Piracy shield is law. And it's a big problem for the internet
The new Piracy shield law in Italy introduces stringent regulations on internet services, potentially leading to unforeseen consequences and increased censorship. Amendments by right-wing parties extend the platform's power, requiring internet service providers to report suspected illegal activities or face legal consequences. The law's vague language, particularly the term 'prevalently,' raises concerns about overreach and the impact on legitimate content. Despite criticism from major telecom operators and stakeholders, the law remains unchanged. The implementation will be overseen by Agcom, with discussions involving various industry players, including Google and Amazon. The law's implications could alter the internet landscape in Italy, with potential conflicts with European net neutrality regulations.

Five reasons why AC Milan might win the Serie A title in 2021-22
AC Milan is considered a strong contender for the Serie A title in the 2021-22 season due to a solid defensive unit, a goal-centric attacking force, an impressive start to the season, a decline in strength among rivals, and lessons learned from the previous season. The team's resilience is evident in their defensive statistics, and with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud leading the attack, they are expected to score consistently. Despite the departure of key players like Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hakan Calhanoglu, AC Milan's regression is less than that of other clubs. The article also notes that other Serie A clubs are facing challenges, such as Atalanta's loss of Cristian Romero and Inter's changes post-Antonio Conte, which may benefit AC Milan. The team aims to build on the experiences from the last season, relying on young talents like Sandro Tonali, Brahim Diaz, and Rafael Leao, and new goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

Exercise-Based Strategies to Prevent Muscle Injury in Male Elite Footballers: An Expert-Led Delphi Survey of 21 Practitioners Belonging to 18 Teams from the Big-5 European Leagues
Injuries, particularly muscle injuries, significantly impact male elite football teams, correlating with lower league rankings and high financial costs. Preventive strategies, especially exercise-based ones, are crucial but lack high-quality evidence specific to elite male footballers. A Delphi survey involving 21 practitioners from 18 elite European teams identified sprinting, high-speed running, and eccentric exercises as effective strategies. The survey highlighted the need for individualized and integrated training approaches, emphasizing the importance of combining exercise-based strategies with other preventive measures like load management and recovery strategies. Despite some consensus, the study underscores the necessity for further high-quality research to validate these practices.

Premier League secures 4 Champions League places for 2017
The Premier League will retain four Champions League places for the 2017-18 season after Juventus' elimination from the competition. Italy's Serie A failed to surpass England in UEFA's coefficient ranking, leaving England with an unassailable lead. Despite underperformance by English clubs, only Germany and Spain outperformed them this season. Italian clubs' chances were further diminished by early exits in the Europa League. The coefficient standings, based on a five-year period, suggest a closer competition next season. Discussions about restructuring the Champions League could alter the current system from 2018-19. Russian clubs also missed the opportunity to gain a third Champions League place.

Serie A's Optimistic Future Amid Challenges
Serie A has seen a resurgence in competitiveness and excitement over the past five years, with different teams winning the league in recent seasons. However, challenges such as limited television revenue, outdated infrastructure, and the departure of top young players for higher salaries abroad persist. The upcoming abolishment of the Growth Decree in January 2024, which provided significant tax benefits to attract talent, may further impact the league's ability to draw top players. Despite these issues, Italian football appears to be on a growth trajectory, though it remains uncertain if this will benefit the National Team.

Eight of the 20 Serie A clubs now have non-Italian owners, with significant investments from American individuals and financial groups. However, these new owners face challenges such as outdated stadiums, local political issues, and financial difficulties exacerbated by the pandemic.
