It seems that the Italian legal system really has problems with YouTube. We’ve already detailed the absolutely ridiculous criminal lawsuit against Google execs over a video of some kids taunting another kid (why Google execs are criminally responsible for this still remains unexplained). Then there’s the Italian politician who has tried to sue a bunch of YouTube commenters. And now comes the news (via Michael Scott) that a court has ordered YouTube to remove all content from Mediaset, an Italian broadcaster owned (of course) by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. It’s unclear how the court thinks YouTube can somehow figure out what content is from Mediaset, but it doesn’t appear that Italian law cares about such practicalities.
