It’s about time.

I see huge amounts of pirated Latin music for sale on iTunes, Amazon, etc. One well known pirate is Circulor, who are the same people behind the Rareza pirate CDs that have been around since the late 90’s.
Occasionally they get pulled but in many cases the original label is defunct. Quality is often poor, obviously ripped from old vinyl.

All the music retailers should check that what is being sold through their store is legal. Bricks and mortar stores wouldn’t be allowed to sell stolen goods, which is what pirate recordings are.

This is a serious mistake.

Its the correct response in SOME countries due to the stage and spread of the virus. But it's completely wrong for other counties where it could make things worse as it effectively starts a lockdown process before its needed. Doing so too early reduces the effictiveness when it is required. So here in the UK because the early phase was handled better than in Italy, the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Officers have recommended against this kind of thing at this moment. It may be necessary in the UK in 10 to 14 weeks when the peak is expected.

Ignoring the medical science and following the panic on social media is a virtue signalling response.

Once the virus is outside of containment, then the result is mitigation. Uk will end up like Italy if it doesn't take maximum measures early.

Good luck on that. UK expected to go into mitigation in 10-14 days. The problem is that your medical services will be maxed out much sooner than 10 weeks, then deaths start climbing. 

That you refer to a rag like the so-called Independent illustrates your lack of critical judgement.

If you ask any Italian, they'll tell you the reason why things are so bad there is because of the panicked lockdown policy. The plan to lockdown the Northern provinces leaked, as these things always do. As a result lots of people I'm the Northern provinces fled to the South of Italy and Sardinia. As a result they quickly spread an outbreak just in the North to the whole of Italy!!!

If you want to educate yourself properly on the different stages of the UKs strategy, then watch the briefing after the last Cobra meeting by the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Officer. Though I strongly suspect you're not interested in facts, just any excuse to critique a government you didn't vote for.

Actually ALL stores in Italy are now shut indefinitely by order of the government. The only exceptions being food stores and pharmacies.
