This article seems to be saying something slightly different:<p><a href="http://www.repubblica.it/tecnologia/2010/01/15/news/decreto_tv_google_e_i_provider_preoccupati_per_effetti_sul_web-1955476/" rel="nofollow">http://www.repubblica.it/tecnologia/2010/01/15/news/decreto_...</a><p>Basically it makes video services like Youtube responsible for their contents, which is still bad, but is certainly not "individuals must apply to the government to upload videos".<p>So I think it's either a bad translation or someone playing fast and loose with the actual facts in order to create some traffic.
