They're smart. They realize the US is going to over-regulate and over-police the internet, as they're already starting to do. All online companies will be in Europe within the next decade as long as the US continues to pick incompetent leadership.Comment

noone gave them any money to do it.
when the big money tv and movie people get hurt, (loose viewers and advertising revenue) they will.
it is all about the money.
the crap about c/p is just an excuse.

100% accurate Mr Soul!Originally posted by Mr. SoulThey're smart. They realize the US is going to over-regulate and over-police the internet, as they're already starting to do. All online companies will be in Europe within the next decade as long as the US continues to pick incompetent leadership.
The same stuff is happening in other areas - not just in broadcasting. On net stuff, there was little doubt places like the EU would end up with more transaction processors and "cash registers" The attitude is not that of "control" tho if shit hit the fan, it could come to that. Other activities, ie in the gambling arena have little problems in the EU in comparison to the US - they don't insist in throwing people in jail for this :-)XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

Hear ya thunder - and true!! "Promises" and "delivery" are words that don't meet too often with any govt org. If ya think the EU is bad, ya really gotta have a look at this side of the Atlantic!Originally posted by thunder99What they promise and what they deliver are two totally different things though.

Yeah thats why they oppose .XXX?
Do not believe the hype, the EU is full of shit.
Not that I am a supporter of .XXX at this point but there involvement in the .XXX issue definatly is not an action of a "Hands Off" approach.
