The Angelucci against Wikimedia
Venti milioni di euro di risarcimento. Roba da far vergognare Berlusconi che tra Repubblica e Unità ne ha chiesti solo tre.
Gli avidi querelanti sono Antonio e Giampaolo Angelucci (padre e figlio) tra l'altro editori dei quotidiani Libero e Il Riformista (qualche altra informazione sui loro molteplici interessi la trovate qui alla voce Tosinvest).
Il querelato è WikiMedia Italia, ovvero l'associazione no-profit che si occupa della promozione di Wikipedia in Italia.
L'accusa è quella di diffamazione, relativa a contenuti presenti nella pagina dedicated to Antonio Angelucci (MP PDL) hosted on Wikipedia (which WikiMedia site does not own and which does not have any control ).
already from this we can see how the lawsuit is totally unfounded. In fact, as explained on the Wikimedia Italy, the only responsible for what is written is the author himself, already in March the Supreme was expressed in favor of the direct responsibility of the writer and not of the site operator in a similar case. But it was, the owner of the site is Wikimedia Foundation, U.S. non-profit foundation, then an Italian court would not have the jurisdiction to proceed.
So what? Will it all end in nothing?
I hope so. So I hope that the two plaintiffs are found to pay, in addition to costs gifts, even the losses, so that be a lesson to anyone who is convinced that one can apply outdated laws to the Internet world.
