I saw a thread here a couple days ago about new product liability rules for software in the EU that would apply to importers/distributors where the manufacturer is overseas. I wonder if anyone will still be willing to provide this "merchant of record" service in the EU once that takes effect.
- bryanrasmussen 2y agoat the worst wouldn't it just mean that a lot of merchants of record will say we don't handle software, and maybe one or two big ones scoop up all the software business with some fancy insurance deals? I believe this is what the theories of capitalism say would happen.
- SSLy 2y agoAren't those rules related to software shipped in hardware?
- victorbjorklund 2y agoNo, it is broader than that. It includes software in general (but excl open source) https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2024/10/10/eu-brings-product-liability-rules-in-line-with-digital-age-and-circular-economy/ https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2024...
