It's so cheap to use something like this to vent your feelings of superiority. Also "ban the internet or something" doesn't really work for me as meaningful analysis. Clearly similar legislation and the clash of internet ideals vs bureaucracy is not at all limited to "us Euro-trash" wink.
- coderdude 15y agoThis was certainly not about feelings of superiority. It was more about how every now and then we hear about some country somewhere wanting to do ridiculous things like ban a widget and fine you 50,000 euros if you have it on your site. That doesn't sound retarded to you?
- potatolicious 15y agoThe same way "some country" wants to do "ridiculous things" like fine you six-figures for downloading a MP3?
- coderdude 15y agoMmm... sort of. But you're really stretching it there. I get your point and yeah of course that's totally stupid, but it's also somewhat irrelevant. They both have to do with enormous fines for small infractions and they both have to do with the Web. I said in another comment that it doesn't matter who is doing something stupid -- it's still stupid. But this article wasn't about copyright law in the United States. I make the same comments in those threads as well. Only since this one is about Germany being retarded, they get the special treatment.
