The biggest
error I see here is that people are trying to limit language
versions of Wikipedia so that they comply with the laws of the country
where the language is primarily spoken. But that's fruitless. The
Italian Wikipedia (hosted in Florida) isn't under Italian law just
because it's in Italian. Nor are Italian citizens liable for something
on the Italian Wikipedia just because the page is in Italian.
I politely disagree. When the person doing something has the Italian
nationality, and the person commits the act from italian territory,
and the claiment is italian, an italian judge might well decide to
consider the claim, despite the servers being in the us.
