Proposed Web video restrictions cause outrage in Italy

,----[ Quote ]
| New rules to be introduced by government 
| decree will require people who upload 
| videos onto the Internet to obtain 
| authorization from the Communications 
| Ministry similar to that required by 
| television broadcasters, drastically 
| reducing freedom to communicate over the

Why the Kankakee County Farm Bureau hates net neutrality

,----[ Quote ]
| The Kankakee County Farm Bureau wants to 
| stop net neutrality. So does the Erie 
| Neighborhood House, along with Downtown 
| Springfield Inc, Big Brothers/Big Sisters 
| of Will and Grundy Counties, and the mayor 
| of North Chicago.
| 
| The organizations all share several things: 
| they are located in Illinois, they want the 
| FCC to focus on broadband adoption rather 
| than net neutrality, and... they all have 
| connections to AT&T.

Italian Courts, latest score: Berlusconi 1; YouTube 0

,----[ Quote ]
| The Italian court today struck a significant
| blow in favour of Mediaset, the broadcaster
| controlled by Silvio Berlusconi, and against
| YouTube.
|
| [...]
|
| No doubt lawyers in other jurisdictions are
| already sharpening their writs in pursuit of
| YouTube - in the meantime, the Viacom v
| YouTube litigation continues to wend its way
| through the New York courts, with no sign of
| an imminent conclusion.
