legislation

Legislation will only work in jurisdictons where the legislation can be enforced.

Well in the UK true statements are not defamation either (as of a change in legislation last year).

Another advantage: Uber is robust to changes in country-specific conditions such as legislation and disruption by ordinary taxi drivers.

Keep making patents that are as stupid as possible in order to force a change in policy or legislation.

And many of the electric cars in the US are there right now based on edicts/legislation.

Recent legislation may have made a dent, but hundreds of years of behavior and social structure do not vanish overnight.

Someone pointed out that this didn't seem fair or just, and after a bunch of arguments and legislation, copyright was born.

Call me cynical, but I think most of the legislation introduced is driven by lobbyists from the start anyway.

The Stop Online Piracy Act was an awful bit of Hollywood-backed anti-Internet legislation.

It has to be expected that they would drive legislation towards harmonization.

It seems that any major legislation should require an informed, rational public - something I do not believe to be possible.

All legislation around "employee rights" will do is take them away.

Or even "method for submitting a patent application over the Internet!" If you actually managed to get it, that might actually be stupid enough to get some legislation passed.

Given that tax laws can (and will change), that changing legislation often adds possible combinations to any field, and that there is surely a every "long tail" of unusual circumstances/combinations.

Correct, and that doesn't even consider that "That ethical principle applies just as much to websites as coffee shops" analogy is flawed because in this case the product (content) is provided by the visitors, entirely different from any typical retail store for which this legislation was originally drafted.

Legislation has nothing to do with 'human rights'.

Legislation MAY work here but not everywhere.
