Thanks for the Laugh, Italy

I was looking at some front page stories at Digg and found one that made me laugh.

Whoops—Italy inadvertently legalizes some P2P music
The Italian parliament has passed a new copyright law that would decriminalize the sharing of “degraded” music on the Internet for educational and scientific purposes. Apparently, lawmakers didn’t realize that 256kbps MP3s are degraded.

This is the kind of thing that you would expect in India. I’m still laughing.
