Another italian here; while this whole situation is bad and piracy shield is definitely not the solution, having the cloudflare CEO that threatens to remove free-tier service makes me wonder. They offer a free pill, just to be the "powerful" guys that threaten people when they are paying some million euros.

Well done my friend. :-) I'm already moving websites off cloudflare. bye!

P.S: I believe piracy shield is a s*t idea naturally.
