Italy finally acquits Google execs convicted over user-uploaded video

http://ars.to/VaYol3  (ars technica)

   "Three Google executives convicted in Italy of privacy law violations
    had their convictions overturned by an appeals court today. Google's
    Global Privacy Counsel Peter Fleischer, Senior Vice President and
    Chief Legal Officer David Drummond, and former Chief Financial Officer
    George Reyes were convicted in February 2010 because of a video
    showing teenagers beating up an autistic classmate."
