Is the scene it Italy as big as it is here in the UK? I mean the amount of servers about is unbelievable, I also find it hard to believe that the people making vast amounts of money wont be able to get around the problem. Its going to be an interesting game of cat and mouse - if the clever people who discovered it in the first place aren't the ones making the dosh then I would guess they wont be so keen to tell people how to get around it.
This is my gut fear.
It wouldn't surprise me if its already been solved by someone but they not willing to make it public as they wont want sky to block any new workarounds.
