As it is pointed out in the article (and whenever i ask a national politican why they try to pass such laws) "they had no much choice because the EU directive 2001/29/CE needs to be passed in national law". But if confronted an EU politician with the same question they refer to regulations/treaties done by the WIFO.
This whole attitude "it's not my choice - i have to do it because a higher instance made this regulation" is irresponsible. Why do we pay politicians with our taxes if they don't have the guts to stand up and say something is wrong with this law?
For my part i already started to make a list of politicians/parties i will (not) give my vote in the next election.
