And why even worse these approaches are still turned into binding regulation and/or legislation despite their effectlessness. It's like fighting poverty by putting up foldings screens around the homeless: out of sight, problem solved. We have had the same discussion in Germany inlcuding a law that the new coalition (after the 2009 federal elections) asked for it not to be applied before the law got finally cancelled in December 2011. *) In particular eco, Germany's ISP association, fought it heavily for obvious reasons. I'd assume that the arguments brought forward three years ago are still very vaild and could form a basis for the suggested document.
