Wow, This is awesome!
"The free-wheeling, open environment that exploded with citizen media has greatly complicated this political legacy... Sedat Kapanoglu, founder of the popular Turkish “dictionary” site Eksi Sozluk, in which ordinary people can post their own “definitions” on any topic, was laughing as he told me how he is regularly summoned to the prosecutor’s office and questioned on why he wrote an inflammatory post about a topic. He said he must repeatedly explain that he just runs the website and anyone can post. The prosecutors are not completely up on about this Internet thing, he shrugs. The results, however, are far from amusing: Sedat’s Internet start-up employs more lawyers than programmers."
