Netizen clandestino – No to being Outlaws, we want Freedom!

Please help spread the word: help circulate the following message via email, your web site, social networking sites, social news sites, indeed in any other way you think might do some good!

The Italian web is up in arms over a serious threat to freedom of speech. Italian law no. 62 of 7th March 2001 effectively makes many Italians outlaws, operating sites which are illegal in the eyes of Italian law.

All of us, of which the recent case of Carlo Ruta is but one example, can be convicted for running illegal publications and our sites/blogs can be forcibly removed from the Italian web.
Help us beat the censorship that oppresses us!

We are turning to all of those running a blog, a web site, or a forum in Italy, and we are also turning to the internauts of the world to ask them do their part and spread this message, and in so doing, to defend the neutrality and freedom of the Internet.

We are requesting that the Italian Parliament withdraw the Levi proposal for a law and we ask that without contents susceptible to interpretation, all internet systems used to express and diffuse information and opinion, whether used non-professionally or not, are removed from legislation concerning publishing, regardless of their capacity to generate profit.

In 2001, Giuseppe Giulietti, as the instigator of Law no. 62 declared that:
“Publishing laws have never had amongst their objectives that of reining in web based publishing activities. The alarms and worried being spread in this respect are therefore false.”

Seven years later and as a direct result of the introduction of this law, one of us, Carlo Ruta, was convicted of unauthorised publication and his site was removed from the Internet. The reassurances of then have proved to be as useless as they are today and as they will be tomorrow.

You reading this are one of us. Please do not sit there and just twiddle your thumbs! 

Tomorrow this could happen to you too! 

Make yourself heard and help us in the struggle for the right to continue to freely express our thoughts.
