I agree. We are still waiting the american pilot of the A3 Intruder that
crashed down a ropeway on our mountains in (I think) 1996 and killed 20
people. He was promoted the last year and still flies (but this time on _USA_
mountains, for our sake...).

Humor apart, there are already a few cases of privacy law violations of this
kind being examined by our authority. It looks like that the foreing web
sites that violated this law will be obscurated. Considering that this law
will slowly spread UE-wide, I will take it seriously even if I worked from
USA.

See you
