We‘ve covered the ridiculous situation in Spain, where the government, which has much more reasonable copyright laws (for example, they didn‘t blame service providers for actions of their users), was put under tremendous pressure from US officials to „fix“ copyright law in the way that Hollywood wanted. There were widespread public protests, and even the head of the Spanish Film Academy protested what appeared to be an attack on the internet. This delayed the bill for a year or so, but last year, a new Spanish government rushed through the approval of the bill with almost no debate.
