Oct. 25, 2007, 11:58 a.m."This means that if you want to remain in the blogging zone you are obligated to have or belong to a publishing company and have registered journalists.
The law passed the Council of Ministers on 12 October, and now lies on the Parliament's desk, waiting to become a law."
Damn these laws! What if tomorrow there will be a new idiot law that would state we have to pay a certain tax to own a website...

Oct. 25, 2007, 2:36 p.m.The proposed Italian law is a sneaky attempt at regulation of the internet media. Even bloggers who don't make any money would be required to file official tax forms to the Italian government. Who knows what info a blogger would have to submit on those forms? Could the Italian government be setting up perjury traps?
This law stinks. Hopefully, it won't be enacted.

Oct. 25, 2007, 2:39 p.m.What I fail to understand is why this would be a surprise to anyone---
The Quasi-Socialists that run most all of Europe and seek to take power elsewhere in the world (including the USA) have never seen nor conceived of a Tax they do not like. It's these folks who have created the fantastic economic climate and stupendous rate of economic growth that Europe has experienced in the past 10 years! (Scarcasm intended!)
Their mottos are:
1. The bigger the Government, the better the government.
2. There are always more ways to get more Tax revenue from the citizens, and it's our job to find those ways.
This story should not surprise us.
Instead, it should make us all promise to be more vigilant of what the Quasi-Socialists in our individual countries could be "scheming up" as we electronically speak.....

Oct. 25, 2007, 8:42 p.m.This is the Italian version of the "Fairness Doctrine" and getting tax money at the same time. The far left has never seen a tax or a method of squelching the opposition they didn't like. Tax cigarettes so the poorest pay more, "Fairness Doctrine", and politically correct talk are all part of their methods.

I'd recommend using a webmail address if you write.
