But they did inject countermeasures; the fines. The relevant governing bodies need to crack down on companies that are violating the rulings and ensure that it's understood this is a requirement for doing business. If you've ever been in a position to write policy, you know the adage that if you design something to be idiot-proof, they'll just design a better idiot. Same rule applies for bad actors. Laws don't try to predict everything, that's why the spirit of the law is just as important as the letter. What the law means to accomplish is just as important as what is actually written, and persons who violate the spirit of the law while not explicitly violating the letter should not get a free pass; this is not how law works, and it's why despite the hundreds of thousands of laws on the US books, there are still courts to interpret laws and make rulings on situations. Corporations can kick and scream all they want while writhing through to meet the letter of the law, but that doesn't make them right, it just makes them desperate. |
