"...But the European Union does not make their policies dependent on the opinion of the United States."
US legislators are dragging IT industry down. Unless something is done to prevent laws like DMCA, UCITA, and encryption software restrictions, it is very likely the SW development will simply move out. Kinda like car, electronics, household, steel, food... industries.
I know it may come as a surprise to many of you here, but our little world doesn't actually revovle around US, it revolves around the Sun.
