About Theo's question: > I am sure other people can fill in, but I heard there has been some movement > within the parliament in reaction. They are reconsidering a portion of that > law that might affect us, or so I have been told. > > http://www.rainews24.rai.it/it/news.php?newsid=157111 > > Can someone clarify? Modifications have been proposed (by various members of the parliament), most of them want to modify the law in order to affect only online newspapers and news websites that requires prior registration under the Italian law (i.e. those with an editor in chief and that are already affected by the law in their paper/video form). You can find the proposed amendments here (Italian only, sorry) http://www.camera.it/_dati/leg16/lavori/odg/cam/fascicoli/20111005/20111005e1415.htm looking for the words "comma 29". About emijrp post in the other thread: > When people reuse content in other websites/blogs/etc, they have to copy the > article text and link to Italian Wikipedia where you can check the entire > history and authors. That is how attribution is given. It is explained here > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reusing_Wikipedia_content > > Now, most of all the attributions to Italian Wikipedia contents on the > Internet are broken. If you dig the archives of this list, back when the license change was implemented, you can see tons of debate about that issue.
