EU Worried About IP Harming Innovation... But Gets It Backwards

,----[ Quote ]
| Rob H alerts us to an article that starts out sounding 
| reasonable... pointing out that politicians in the EU are meeting 
| because they're worried about intellectual property laws holding 
| back innovation in Europe... but then it goes off the rails. You 
| see, they're not worried that the laws are holding back 
| innovation because they're too strict, but because they're too 
| weak. As you look, though, you realize that these politicians 
| have basically been lobbied by businesses that want protectionist 
| policies.
