Odeon Orders Takedown Of Copycat Site
Tuxedo Jack writes "The Register reports that Odeon Cinemas, a British theater chain, has ordered a takedown of a copycat version of its site that was made by a disability activist. The original didn't work outside of IE on Windows and was in violation of the Disability Discrimination Act; the activist-recoded one worked on everything. Odeon has flip-flopped on the issue, too; they liked it when it was first up, and now they don't."
Idiot. If it isn't enforced then it effectively isn't the law.
Bad analogies are like waxing a monkey with a rainbow.
Apparently you have never been to europe... Outside of Switzerland, the governments of most European countries regulate everything they can think of. This is why there arent very many new businesses (And as such, much native economic growth). Too much paperwork, and too many rules.
I deal with European companies all the time, so I know exactly what you mean. My goal is to yell loud enough that America never has to face that kind of social and economic oppression. We looked into partnering a business with someone in Germany, until our CPA explained the taxes, and then we laughed our asses off, and will just focus on the US, thank you....
Too bad, it would have created several good paying jobs both in Germany and here in the states (also Romania and Hungary), but you don't invest half a million to pay 70% or more in taxes. I am shocked anyone opens a business there, considering the rewards are much lower than the risks.
Tequila: It's not just for breakfast anymore!
