Italian Politician Tries To File Charges Against 4,609 YouTube Commenters

Mike Masnick for TechDirt points to a post on boingboing about a story coming out of Italy, concerning what appears to be a former politician with a... colorful past who is filing charges against, get this, YouTube commentors.

Salvatore Cuffaro (he was apparently found guilty of helping the Mafia), who is upset about the comments on a YouTube video that involves himself, but which is from the early 90s. So, he's "laid charges" against all 4,609 commenters (since then, many more have commented).
