    If you don’t want to engage with anything that disproves your stance, like new legislation that the civil rights movement fought for, then sure. If the “erosion of IP” is the continued availability of something that people already paid for, and the consequences of that are that now the producer is going to have a hard time selling its successor, then I think that’s absolutely the obvious thing that 1.3M people signed a petition to have changed rather than relying on existing laws that clearly aren’t serving the consumer. We’ll see what parliament comes up with in the Digital Fairness Act and how California’s efforts go.

      Cool story, but no you just argue with your feelings instead of actual facts or do any research. If you did, I would consider it, but since you haven’t what is the point? Even now, “we’ll see what parliament comes up with”. What does Parliament require for revisiting existing laws? You didn’t even look that up did you?

      Parliament doesn’t just change existing laws. That requires a new commission proposal to start a binding revision so they know what should be changed if anything. You can’t just get turned down by a commission and go to parliament. You’ll just get sent back to a commission.

      See? What is there for me to explain when you can’t even be bothered to research how EU laws work? You just comment with your feelings which no one (least of all the EU Parliament) cares about.

        You didn’t even research the legislative changes for women’s suffrage or civil rights, which you probably ought to have been taught in elementary school if you couldn’t be bothered to go to Wikipedia. Actual members of European parliament seem to be confident in what they’re able to achieve without a win on this citizen’s initiative, going from today’s press conference, and I trust that they have a better idea of it than you do.
