Answering dnautics here, no idea why I can't reply directly to his post. > The consequence of enforcing your attitude by law is that small companies will never be able to expand to compete with big businesses. Say your website goes down at an inopportune time for a market in another time zone. Sorry, there's no one that can fix it because you can't have someone handling emergencies that 'come with the job' off hours on a staff of five. Now you've lost a major market. Emergencies are different beasts. In my opinion, being on call should be paid extra. Same as happens with emergency services. How is your service when the site goes down different than a medical urgency? (besides the obvious fact that most probably, nobody will die if your website goes down at night, but you get the idea). I was talking regular work. I know (and have experienced this personally) that some companies make look every day as if it could be doomsday if you relax. Of course, lines get blurry, as in life. But some situations are so obvious, it does not need to find edge cases.
