It's pretty remarkable that Italian Court is keeping in mind the real
nature of Wikipedia as a sui generis collaborative project and not like a
web site in a traditional sense. This new legal definition might influence
other courts or laws. The most of law traditions in Latin America follow
closely the Italian criteria.
If possible, I would like a copy of the final resolution. Will you publish
it on Commons or WMIT web page?
Congratulations WMIT!

The blog has been already posted in the Italian
mailing list and I would
say that this is an excellent result.
The justice in Italy is really slow in general, but in this case the
timeline has been short and the result of the court of justice really good
for the future.
The definition that the prosecutor is able to change the definition in
Wikipedia and for this reason there is no sense to accuse Wikipedia or WMF,
it's a good way to give an indication for the future.
Thank you
