Google "respectfully disagrees" with €2.42 billion fine

I think leaving off the important end of the sentence shows that you don’t understand what I’m saying.

I’m well aware of how the American legal system works (and how it doesn’t always work well in all areas). There are plenty of articles from Cory and Mike Masnick about how laws written prior to the current information age are poorly applied to modern technologies and information services. There isn’t sufficient case law on this subject by knowledgeable courts for a good ruling to come out for at least, I’d guess, twenty years. You also can’t trust the old, corrupt politicians to write sensible legislation on the matter. Stevens wasn’t the only out of touch old man whose concept for the internet rose to the complexity of “a series of tubes.”

That’s a lot of trust to place in human beings. Good luck with that.
