Bottomley: Solving the Looming Developer Liability Problem

Bottomley: Solving the Looming Developer Liability Problem

Just one last comment (just saw corbet's note).

The Act includes a section about why it is a regulation, every act has to specify why it is a directive or regulation and the legal basis for it. While in principle a regulation is effective everywhere at once, the actual enforcement is to be done by entities which don't exist yet and will need to be created by the member states. The entities will be underfunded (they always are) and will not have time to go after anything but the biggest companies.

Also note the fines are actually the sideshow. The primary goal is that the terms get included in B2B contracts and that businesses start holding each other to account. That's the only way to influence suppliers outside the EU.
