The justification that they use for this law is that the sites in
question do not respect the rules of how gambling should be done, so
the gov't blocked them to protect the italian gamblers from the evil
foreign companies ripping their money. 
How could you even think that this law has to do with missing tax
revenues for services provided abroad by foreign companies?  <G>
