In italian high schools you learn to hate a lot of what you do, just because you're a student and can't be bothered to enjoy an analysis of some themes - then when you're a bit older you start to appreciate what you hated much more

No, I read part of the full sentence in italian and as far as I can understand, the tribunal contests not the fact (increasing prices), but the way that it was done which is unlawful. They also contest other things, for example, you have to say the legal words "modifica unilaterale del contratto" when changing the contract, which makes it clear you're getting screwed one way or another by the way.

Netflix said they will appeal
