This is completely fair - you have to play by the local rules to be in that economy. But my point is that if those rules become really onerous, then people might calculate that it's better to not play. The best thing is to be the one who invents a new industry, but from over here it seems the big focus over there is not innovation, but regulation. I'm not saying the European economy would ever collapse, I'm saying it suffers from things like this. It's good now, but could have been wonderful.

>> It's good now, but could have been wonderful. The economy? Sure. The economy really isn't all that societies are about, but I'm sure even you'd agree with that statement - like for example, if someone said that installing permanent unremovable surveilance inside your house and sharing its data publicly would grow your economy by 20%, would you agree to that? Surely it would be wonderful. There's a line that everyone draws - some countries draw it elsewhere than others, but there is a line.
