A Rome court has ruled that Netflix price hikes in Italy are illegal. The decision sides with a consumer advocacy group which claims the streaming giant broke local rules by raising prices to its service between 2017 and 2024 and said customers are entitled to a refund.

The Rome ruling comes days after Netflix announced on March 26 that it was raising prices for its three plans in the U.S. for the second time in a little over a year.
