I really think it is some kind of publicity stunt from the prosecution and won't hold in court.<p>However if I was in charge of google, and my executives were found guilty I would have my side of the story translated and displayed instead of any google service for all .it users. Avoid further risk.
I think this has a good side, reminding people that countries still exists and are different from each other, and those differences are not only holiday photo landscapes.
using the same logic, couldn't they also take paper manufacturers to court, because someone wrote or drew something offensive on a piece of paper once upon a time? i don't understand the reasoning behind this.
