Spanish Web Sites Go Blank To Protest New Rules

Posted by timothy on from the march-of-the-state dept.

Diver777 writes "New tough rules for websites in Spain have caused at least 300 websites to go blank in protest. The new rules call for any site which generates revenue to register with the government. The law would also apply to foreign-hosted Web sites if the people transacting business on them are physically in Spain. Get the Yahoo story here."

    Businesses have to register all over the world so that consumers' rights can be protected and taxes can be collected.

    Why do Spanish commercial website owners feel that they are different?
