Illegal to blog in Italy without a license

heresycorner.blogspot.com — Under a law dating to 1948, it is an offence to publish a newspaper without a licence from the authorities.

That is why you usually listen to AM in the jeep or tricycle, but really at a carinderia or barbershop or an office building, it is the FM band that is used.
