TechCrunch: Can someone tell this Italian Judge what YouTube is?

Interesting article on TechCrunh about the decision of an Italian judge regarding three Google employees accused of breaking Italian law by allowing the video of bullying of a teenager with autism to be posted on Google Video in late 2006.
According to Google: "In late 2006 Students at a school in Turin, Italy filmed and then uploaded a video to Google Video that showed them bullying an autistic schoolmate. The video was totally reprehensible and we took it down within hours of being notified by the Italian police. We also worked with the local police to help identify the person responsible for uploading it and she was subsequently sentenced to 10 months community service by a court in Turin, as were several other classmates who were also involved. In these rare but unpleasant cases, that’s where our involvement would normally end."
