Why would Youtube block Italy? They probably have very little interest in complying with Italian law.

Wired doesn't need to make excuses until they're legally compelled to release the information with a subpoena or a court order.

Much more expressive and dense source code.

A wall of symbols isn't preferable when you're trying to understand the algorithm that the programmer has implemented.
