IT: Zwang/srekrutierung zum Schur/nalismus 
 
Künftig bedarf es, um von Italien aus News ins Netz zu  
stellen, einer Lizenz als Journalist, samt Registration und  
Registrationsgebühr, weil alle Netz-Produkte ja bekanntlich  
eigene Medien sind.  
 
post/scrypt: Man beachte den respektablen Gehalt an Idiotie  
der dieser Zwang/sregistrierung zum Schur/nalismus  
innewohnt.

If there is any Italian alert/opposition page about this, please  
let me know so I can link to it from the Blue Ribbon free  
speech campaign site.

Hi I am an Italian citizen and I want send you this mail about  
a new law of the italian parlament about Internet in Italy. All  
the internet sites have to be registred and to publish news  
you have to be registered as a normal newspaper. So only  
professional journalist will write on Internet. Liberty of speech  
is going to die in Italy. Please help us. 
 
I can only send few link, the pages are written in italian, but if  
you can traslate them I think you'll find the arguments very  
interesting for you.

I would like to inform you about the new law recently  
approved in Italy to extend the rules for the press and  
periodical press to web sites and electronic press. 
 
The new law states that EVERY web site has to be  
considered as a press product, and it has to print the name  
of the publisher (or the editor) and the city where it is  
published (whatever this could mean). 
 
If the site includes news or is updated periodically, which  
would be the case of a webzine or of a site with a news  
section, it falls under these following laws valid for  
newspapers and periodical press: 
 
1) it has to declare a responsible managing editor, that has  
to be enlisted in the professional Order of Journalists 2) it has  
to pay a tax (of about 200$) 3) it has to be registered in the  
lists of the tribunal of the city where it is published. 
 
If you could do something to publish this shameful situation it  
may be very useful. 
 
Here you can find the entire text of the law (sorry, it's in  
Italian):
