I think this is a prime opportunity to point out to those concerned: Wikipedia is hosted in the US :) so no need to worry!
Are you sure? Contributors lives mainly in Italy, so they have to follow Italian law.
Unless I have mistaken the law (I admit my Italian is shaky at best, and my tame Italian is in a mood with me) this applies to websites, not people.
There does not seem to be any provision under the law to sue or otherwise harass people that add stuff the company/individual etc. objects to.
I could be wrong; but this looks a lot like a case of getting an email saying "make this change at once, under Italian law XXX" and us responding "Actually, no, sorry - but can we work this out via discussion?" Tom
