How could any such law have any legitimate jurisdiction outside of Europe. If the information to be forgotten is on a foreign server, then Europe should have no influence on forcing the administrators to delete the data.
Hypothetically speaking, because of this ruling, could a bank now clean out their customers' accounts and safe deposit boxes without any worry of legal repercussions since the arbitrators would side with the bank.
These politicians are complete idiots. They have no clue of the repercussion that will result from their agendas. If such a bill would pass that requires all forms of encryption to have a government backdoor, then opensource projects would move overseas. Perhaps join SlySoft in St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda. from there, make the encryption available. An advantage of open source is that you can't hide backdoors in it. They will be found by others and removed
I have this feeling that this whole attack was orchestrated by the NSA and their foreign counterparts to strengthen their campaigns to require all forms of encryption to have government back doors and the need for more mass surveillance and data collection.
MPAA and other such groups are fighting a war similar to that of the DEA's war on drugs. They can take down one site/ provider. Then more pop up to take its place. It is a war that cannot be won.
Even if you are of the same party, if you threaten the status quo, you will be destroyed. This is also why the republicans have a war on two fronts. The left and the conservatives
If I ran Google, as a means of retaliation against countries with this bullshit unrealistic laws, I'd cut off everything Google, its services and feature of other companies it owns. it owns from that country. Australia and France. No Youtube, no gmail, no Google drive (and those who have stuff on the drive are SOL), no searching. When people become outraged. I'd point at their government about how much of an asshole they are being. Complain to your government and demand that they cease this irrational childish behavior
This has nothing to do with copyright! This is about locking people out of tinkering and repairing their own cars. It also forces people to take their cars to authorized dealerships for service instead of third-party independently owned and operated auto service shops at cheaper prices. This is a money grab by big auto that will result in lost jobs and the closing of places such as Driver's Edge, Pep Boys, Midas, etc.
Along with that, some auto manufacturers claim that because the car's software is licensed to you, you don't actually own the car anymore. It is licensed to you.
If if does pass, can the SCOTUS challenge its legitimacy, constitutionality. This partnership is being used to write laws which only congress is permitted to create and then the President signs or vetoes. The TPP is technically illegal in numerous ways.
The Pandora's Box of this situation is that it opens the gates for any country to impose its laws on the world. Imagine a country in the middle east able to impose their censorship on the world.
