I saw a video from EU parliament where Gunther Oettinger urged that paper pritning news industry will die thanks to hyperlinking and so we, the EU, must do something about it (ratify this law). I think it's pretty clear where his second wage is coming from. Or he's absolutely stupid and doesn't have a clue about economy and prosperity.

> I think it's pretty clear where his second wage is coming from. Or he's absolutely stupid and doesn't have a clue about economy and prosperity. Look into his relationship with lobbies and consumer rights' organisations some time. Also, his speech about the Taliban-like evils of net neutrality (yes, really). EDIT: And if you understand German, there's even a great remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkORC6FcSH4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkORC6FcSH4
