Comments on: Italy revolts over sneak return of ‘blog killer’ law http://gigaom.com/2012/04/18/italy-revolts-over-sneak-return-of-blog-killer-law/ Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:05:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Bobbie Johnson http://gigaom.com/2012/04/18/italy-revolts-over-sneak-return-of-blog-killer-law/#comment-832140 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 07:56:27 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=512073#comment-832140 I’m not sure about server jurisdiction versus residency of the publisher, will find out more.

But I think your second point is one of the major worries — effectively that it promotes nuisance complaints.

Secondly, if the law was passed then it would make it incredibly easy to take down any site. All you have to do is swamp it with complaints don’t you?

We live in a State where politicians make 15/20k € a month with privileges usually reserved to queens and kings like retirement pensions of 15k€ per month while a person who has worked 40 years will be asked to postpone his/ her retirement for one or two more years and will earn less than 1000€ per month.
Politicians are asking for hars sacrifices amid a crisis that is putting families on their knees and sends entrepenurs oppressed by debts to the “suicide lane”.
Recently the parties wanted to approve financial support bill that would put 100 millin€ in the corrupted pocket of politicians who are there ( in the parliament) only to make themselves richer and richer everyday.
The Romans, back almost two thousand year ago wrote the “golden rule” for governing a Country and the whole world:
“dividi et imperat” .
By having social classes clashing against one another they manage to do as they wish, raising taxes, the gas prices (now at € 1.90 per liter/ 8.50 dollar a gallon)and managing to steal public money by the millions.
I would not be surprised if these social tensions will lead back to an increase of anger that might give birth to new forms of terrorism like we saw back in the Seventies with the “red brigades”.
The revolution of today is fought trough the megapixels and the gigabytes running at the speed of light troughout the planet as citizens aware of their power trhough the Web will not be put to silence by stupid laws. Be aware corrupted, thieves, leeches and vultures of the Italian People. If you try to stop the Web the boomerang will hit you harder than any stone, or bullet. If you try to silence the blog and the freedom of thought it will backfire right in to your fat asses and your obese bellies. Give people a sign of peace by returning the money you are taking from them on the daily base.Take that 100 million € and give 4000 families 25k€ each. Start a new trend and get rid of all the politicians who are there for 20/30/40 years, and hire a new generation of people willing to make 1/2 thousand € a month and willing to step aside aftet two terms.
More than anything else though, do not interfere with the freedom given to the people by the Web. If you silence me in Italy I will make so much noise in the USA or in Australia, even if I’d have to move there to express my thought. If you want to stop us on the web you will have to be ready to eliminate us phisically. Are you ready for that?

Driving people underground is the worst thing they can do. Revolutions are born in such ways.
