You are right, but I don't think that in this case Mr. B. could be called guilty. Two points make me think that in this case the reason should be looked elsewhere: one is that generally Italian judges (and those in Milan court above all), aren't generally kind with Mr. B. affairs. The second is that the judge that sentenced Google employees is the same judge that censored the Italian Governement on the Abu Omar affaire. I'm more inclined in thinking about sheer ignorance about internet and its mechanism (sadly I have a direct experience in that field) or, as I read the news, a very strict interpretation of our privacy laws such as that it would require from Google the explicit consent of every person filmed in any video published.

What you say abour Berlusconi is true, but I don't agree at all with your position. This is purely a question of ignorance and not or politics or of media control. Italian Judges (especially those of Milan district) aren't known for their helping attitude toward Berlusconi or his companies. The Judge who sentenced Google was the same judge who sentenced a public officer for the CIA/Abu Omar affaire (where the government was censored for his acts). Believe me, that kind ignorance it's fairly common among our judges.
