Idk how you can argue the EU values people over corporate interest while this copyright law is on it's way to being passed.

Here's one of the many articles about what's wrong with it.

It's one of thousands of laws, but sure, this one is the definitive indicator of the EU's values.

Maybe we could try to find a single US law that we don't like and dismiss America just as readily?

We all know you're going to pick the Patriot Act :)

Or maybe The Hague Invasion Act? ;-)

Never heard of this one, and didn't know anything about it. I tried reading the Wikipedia page. Now I've heard of it, but still don't know anything about it.

I find that article uncompelling. Cory Doctorow makes some pretty bold statements that appear to be at odds with the directive as I read it. Some of it feels like wilful misinterpretation.
