Note to self: Block Italian IP's

How on earth does a case like this get prosecuted?

Punishing Italian internet users isn't at all like punishing Google executives for Youtube is it?
Unless this case ends up dismissed or easily won, Google should redirect all Italian IPS to a page explaining what has happened and that they are unable to do business in Italy until the laws are changed.

They should add a "contact your government" feature that lets Italian internet users let their parliament know what's going on.

This isn't punishing Italian internet users it's a necessary safety precaution. It's not worth doing business somewhere that puts your employees in danger of jail time for doing their jobs.

Oh wow, you're right, not letting Italians see some content is exactly like imprisoning people.
