Do you think that the Italian judge was right to fine the man who sent an unsolicited text message to a woman he found attractive?

ROME (Reuters) - Italians love their mobile phones and often carry out love affairs over them -- but they must beware, flirting with text messages can carry a fine. A judge in the northern Italian town of Padua on Monday found a man who sent an unsolicited compliment by SMS guilty of harassment and fined him 300 euros ($391), Italian news agency Ansa reported. 'Since you appeared before my eyes I can't do anything but think of you,' the man had written to a clerk while on lunch break, Ansa said. She took the offending SMS to the police. Italians own more mobile phones and send more text messages per person than any other European country, according to Eurostat and Censis surveys.
