Italy Prepares '"One Strike" Anti-Piracy Law

angry tapir writes "The Italian government is preparing an anti-piracy law that could ban Internet users from access after one alleged copyright infringement, a lawyer and an analyst warned. ISPs would be required to use filters against services that infringe copyright, trademark or patents under terms of the draft law. The proposed changes to Italy's e-commerce directive were drafted in July by members of parliament belonging to the Il Popolo della Libertà (PdL) party of prime minister Silvio Berlusconi."

Re:You know nothing about Italy.

I'm Italian and I'm comfortably saying that you know NOTHING about italian culture.

My lady who has traveled through Europe says that she was never harassed so much as in Italy, and she's been to Peru... where she got grabbed and fondled by a stranger the minute she was alone for two minutes. Luckily, he was small and therefore relatively inoffensive, and she was able to shrug him off and regain her party. But in Italy, walking down the street gets you goosed (nearly with penetration!) by cads on bicycles, and she was groped in every crowd, et cetera. I think you are full of shit, which I would have thought anyway, since you do not have the courage of your convictions. I can tell, because you did not log in, that you do not believe what you have said.

Italy treats women a lot better than american treats black people.

Not really. Either way people are made to live differently from other people because they are different.
