Are you being sarcastic? Cultural mores are different in the EU, lawmakers there began with a presumption of basic good faith on the part of business which turned out to be lamentably lacking in the international market. This is 50% the fault of the people trying to circumvent/undermine the law rather than cooperate with it.

That is pure naivete and I'm saying this as a person who lives and works in the EU. It's time to get off our ethical high horse and treat corporations exactly as they expect to be treated.

Did they learn their lesson? Because that was an incredibly foolish assumption out of the starting gate; from old-guard developers and companies' points of view, they were stomping into a sandbox they hadn't built and upsetting the status quo that was working; of course malicious compliance should have been anticipated.

Are you telling me that EU lawmakers were utterly naive to common left wing critiques of capitalism? That beggars belief.
