[p2p-research] Fwd: [fcforum] Coyright used for heavy censorship in Italy

Mon Mar 1 10:18:43 CET 2010

Ref the start of this thread:  "The facts:- Marco Travaglio is a leading
journalist (awarded with the german prize
for journalism in 2009 for his worthiness in the fight for the freedom
of press in Italy) who brings to the italian audience inquiries and
research about politicians and government;"

P2P members may be interested in additional context, regarding the political
background, activism and the use of the Internet for mobilisation. For these
reasons I forward the two emails below from an Italian friend.

Subject: [learnhowtolearn] I: Updating on corruption in Italy

Dear friend,

I would like you to be informed that Italy democracy is in worse situation
and serious danger due to corruption and overpower of Berlusconi and right
xenophobe people in his government (Lega party). We need a big change, we
need to protect and develop our democracy in a multiethnic country!
The case of Lawyer Mills  bribed by Premier Silvio Berlusconi has stopped
due  bureaucratic reasons of time duration of this case.
http://www.ansa.it/web/notizie/rubriche/english/2010/02/26/visualizza_new.html_1708176751.html

Berlusconi lawyers are working to present new  laws in the parlement to
prevent him to go in front of the court.
I forward you below  information about recent cases of corruptions.
What happens is *a national mobilization of  Civil Society* *only by
Facebook and Blogs/Email/sms* since December 2009.  Today demonstration in
Rome, A self financed mobilization!

*To ask for EQUALITY BEFORE LAW!*

 We would like to unify our mobilization with the *Strike of foreigners
working in Italy  on the 1 March 2010. *
http://www.primomarzo2010.it/2009/12/1st-march-2010-strike-of-foreigners-in.html,
together with  foreigners working in France.

Thanks for your  understanding and participation!

Please spread these news!

All the best!
