Due to it's tiny size in land, I believe Europe should be a single country. I still believe in the idea of EU: what it stands for, what it means.
However, the past couple of years have been terrible. The whole Brexit vote only gone through because one can't fight lies with logic and nobody from the Remain side realised this. (Yes, lies, admitted by Leave campaign faces, see morning TV interview the next morning). Everyone sat back, completely ignorant to the option that people will believe those who show up in their village halls with a speech, even if it's mostly made up. The whole reaction of the EU to Brexit is that Britain made and idiotic decision and the EU will not bend due to this. Divorces happen, sometimes it's stupid, like in this case, but that doesn't mean the sides need to be assholes towards each other.
Apart from Brexit, there is still no central response or governing to the immigration through the Mediterranean and it's been a serious problem for years; it gave enough ground for the Hungarian governing party to build a hate driven election campaign around it and win with it.
And than suddenly that complete madness copyright law idea pops up.
This is not the EU I voted to join as a Hungarian in 2004. I might have been under-informed, and the EU might always have been like this, but if it does, something needs to change.
So, answering your question: no, one law is not enough. It's a long series of "wth?" reaction from my side, including no decision decisions, stiff attitude, pitiful procedures like .eu termination, which goes way beyond mere politics - think of personal domains -, and genuinely bad law ideas. Enough of these can drive someone away from an originally beautiful and invaluable union.
