[Fsfe-uk] SIAE Italian law information

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        You probably heard of the infamous SIAE Italian law that is causing
so much worries in Italy (see http://www.fsfeurope.org/siae/siae.en.html).
Leandro Noferini from Associazione Software Libero drafted a text explaining
the current situation in more details. Since it makes sense to distribute
this text widely in order to raise interest against this law all over Europe,
we started to work on a translation (babelf*sh + proofreaded 2/3). 

        But as you now all know my english skills are far from perfect :-)
If someone can spare time to proofread and fix the text, you'll find it
at www.fsfeurope.org/drafts/siae.txt. And if you have access to the CVS
tree you can commit the fixes. 

        BTW, if you know someone able to write a nice
sarcastic/humoristic article about this law that could be published on
online newspapers, that'll help people in Italy making a nice
international press book against this law.

        Cheers,

P.S. It occurs to me that you guys are at the very center of everything
because you can write proper English :-)

P.P.S. Regarding credits I think anyone providing
content/translation/proofreading should be put in a Thanks section,
but that's up to Leandro to decide.
