The Pirate Bay is already blocked by the major providers in Italy, for much the same reasons I suspect: total control over Italian media consumption by BS (Berlusconi Silvio).
I live in Italy, and the lack of unbiased information is incredible - half the population really believe that the press are under communist control and that journalists have an axe to grind with Berlusconi. The other half disagree and the result is a country that is incredibily polarized and divided - over Berlusconi.
The best thing for Italy would be for him to die quickly for as long as he lives he will be able to hide and manipulate information - a perfect modern Machiavelli.
