Indeed, you can do it in your own way that complies with the intention of the law. We don't do this malicious compliance weasel wording game in the EU.

- deaddodo 3y agoIntention leaves room for interpretation. Despite common belief in Europe, there is plenty of strongly binding consumer and labor protection legislation in the US (especially at the state level). It just happens to be much more verbose and specific to take "interpretation" out of the equation. And when companies slither around some loophole, it gets amended, ideally; if some corporate lobbyist doesn't get their way (something that also, definitely occurs in the EU). That being said, I'm rooting for the ECJ to win here. Maybe it would kickstart a change that's also sorely needed in the US.
- rad_gruchalski 3y agoYeah, and when you don’t like a workaround, just shift the goal posts once again. Sovereign weasel.
- kuschku 3y agoWhy are you trying to find a workaround? Circumventing a law is the same as breaking it.
- rad_gruchalski 3y agoWell, you just made something I have been working on for two decades and told me I need to do it in a different way so what the fuck are you wondering about. Legal and illegal is a human concept. In Nazi Germany it was illegal for Jewish doctors to treat non-Jewish people. A workaround isn’t necessarily circumventing.
