.....Apparently there is a new law in Italy that demands a Blogger or web publisher to be registered with the government and pay a fee, even if your blog doesn’t have anything to do with making money, that applies to a teenager writing on his/her hobby as much as a problogger....

well that's good and bad news for me, Good because blogging goes far beyond than publishing your thoughts but became a craft as well, alarming because it seems that they are trying to control these hapless bloggers who are doing these all in the sense of fun. i guess they should revise that first so that our rights as blogger be respected.

Aside from the fact that Italy is impeding on people's freedom of speech, I noticed that the title stated, "...Bloggers Must be Journalists." Does this mean that Italy charges a few to register journalists, too? Another stifling of freedom of speech. Why should you have to pay and register to report info? Serves no purpose except for the government controlling what is reported.
