In two separate proceedings, Italian judges have acquitted 23 people who were prosecuted for purchasing a pirate IPTV subscription.

Italians who simply view pirate IPTV via illicit subscriptions have been warned for months that their activities could be reported to the judicial authorities for potential prosecution. As part of an investigation into a pirate IPTV subscription seller, a total of 23 people have appeared in court in recent months for simply buying a pirate package. Judges in two separate proceedings have now acquitted all 23 after concluding that this type of piracy isn’t actually a crime.

    POS is an English acronym. It stands for Point of Sale. The proper term would usually be POS Terminal, but it’s often shortened to POS.

        Does Italian have a certain way to pronounce acronyms? Plenty are pronounced in English. Eg: laser

          I’m not native italian so take this with a grain of salt. All the acronyms I’ve heard in italian are pronounced as you would pronounce that word if it was Italian. Weirdly enough, they include a lot of English words (not acronyms) in their daily vocabulary and they pronounce those in English.
