Web, Crackdowns Weakening Mafia's Grip

As you no doubt have figured out, I'm pretty addicted to the internet (including the web and other services). I sometimes wonder how I found things before Google Maps and my GPS. How did I ever answer "where do I know him or her from" before imdb. How did I shop before being able to do online research? Well Web, Crackdowns Weakening Mafia's Grip describes how the web is being used to disrupt the Mafia in Sicily. "In a rebellion shaking the Sicilian Mafia to its centuries-old roots, businesses are joining forces in refusing to submit to demands for protection money called 'pizzo.'"
