I am very leery of the current administrations of our various supposed democracies.
To give an an example, back here, the previous copyrights laws were passed in the 70/80's, after long debates in the Parliament that considered every party involved. Consequently, the bills were passed unanimously, when consensus was reached.
That was before.
The latest text has mainly been written by the Industry, rushed through with little regard for the common good, and voted by MPs of the current majority who'd been told to behave by their party.
Somewhat unsurprisingly, that bill was shot down as unconstitutionnal by the relevant body. That's not stopped them from trying again, even though it's been judged as being in violation of Human Rights by the EU.
Should it be surprising to see similar things in other countries, or to hear that Germany has expressed an interest in said bill?
