>The downside might be that the EU countries never have a tech sector as great as the US but man, in the end it's worth it to protect the people from anti-consumer behaviour. Thanks, and I can see your point. Except for this last part, I'm having a hard time understanding the rationale. Do you mind talking more about how more government intervention and regulation could benefit consumers, compared to the current situation. How will 'the people' be protected? How will the government make better decisions than they can make for themselves? I don't understand how a smaller technology sector correlates to less 'anti-consumer' behaviour by companies?
