Pinsent Mason's legal newswire, OUT-LAW News has a story on upcoming Italian legislation covering "editorial products", that may require bloggers to register with the government simply to publish a private blog.

I suspect the keyword is *may*. One has to assume the wording of the law will eventually be fine tuned to avoid the sort of legislation more typically associated with the world's more dubious regimes.
