Electronics manufactures must from Saturday fit all devices sold in the EU with USB-C charger ports in a bid by the 27-nation bloc to reduce waste and cut costs for consumers, who will no longer have…
Okay so firstly that’s not true. If a lawsuit isn’t reasonable it can be filed but it won’t make it to court.
yes it can and will. someone hasnt been paying attention to literally the entire trump presidency and general behavior of republican AGs i see. How much time was wasted in courts on the election steal nonsense. All you need is to find a judge who will hear the case and you can bribe one for that. Now obviously that example doesn’t directly apply to the EU but im sure if i go looking I’ll find examples of everything i’ve said in EU jurisdictions.
Secondly even if that was the case it wouldn’t make any difference because you could also sue companies for not following rules.
remember the issue here is the money that is wasted on lawyers and courts preventing low capital groups from getting traction. they literally wouldnt have the money to do that.
The behavior i’m describing is a extremely well known strategy. It comes in a number of forms.
Thirdly please look up the actual law. There’s no requirement to use a particular port you simply have to include whatever the currently recommended standard is
I did look up the law and I’m aware of this. Please learn some ability to connect the dots. developing a new standard -> costs money. ensuring the new standard is interoperable with the old one such that it can do this -> costs money. low capital groups lack money. Therefor by definition there will be a chilling effect on new development due to this law.
Finally, Im in favor of this law. I just don’t deny the side effects it will have and how it’ll potentially be abused by companies. The only way it doesnt have the effect I’ve described is if it carves out exceptions for individuals and small revenue companies.
Wow you are arrogant without any justification to be so.
What the hell has your weird president got to do with European Union law. The United States isn’t even affected by this law, Apple could if they wanted continue to use lightning cable in the United States. They won’t of course because that doesn’t make economic sense but that’s not the European union’s problem that’s apples.
In Europe you cannot sue someone just because you feel like it, the courts won’t allow the case to go forward if it has no merit.
The fact that you claim to have done research on this law is laughable, since you haven’t even noticed what countries it applies to.
