> Apparently IPTV costs 20 to 60 Euros per year, the legal option is over 100 euros per month. To match the IPTV they need 20x price reduction.

Uh... Huh? How is EUR 20 * 20 approximately EUR 100?

If you do the maths correctly it’s in that range, roughly.

(100*12 months) = 1200 euros/year

1200/60 = 20

so 20x difference between the most expensive IPTV and the cheapest legal option. You can go with the 20 EUR IPTV vs the 200 EUR legal option and it would be 120x difference but probably the quality would be the same so let’s stick with the 20x.

Oh, per year. Duh. My bad. I just be tired, it's the second time in a few minutes that I've completely misread something.

No worries :) I shouldn't have been mixing months and years type subscriptions in first place.
