Has Italy Outlawed Unregistered Blogs?
Over the past year or so, we've noticed a string of stories coming out of Italy that suggests a rather odd legal viewpoint when it comes to the internet. There was the government's decision to release everyone's tax returns publicly online. Then there was an effort to put some Google executives in jail over videos that were uploaded to Google (not by those executives), and then, of course, Italy's attempt to ban access to The Pirate Bay (since rescinded).
However, the latest report is that Italy was able to force a blog offline permanently by using a law that requires news publishers to register with the government. A judge ruled that since a blog has a headline and some text, it counts as a news publication, and thus anyone who hasn't registered has violated this law. Of course, a politician (who used to be in favor of the law) is now warning that this could make an awfully large number of websites in Italy illegal, if the law is interpreted strictly. Basically, the Italian government now has the ability to force pretty much any blog site offline if they don't like the content, just by making this type of claim.

Electronic Arts Admits Disappointing Holiday Sales; Looks to Cut Games, Staff
Electronic Arts today announced that "lower than expected sales across North America and Europe" will result in lower-than-expected earnings for its current fiscal year.
