We've established pretty definitively that the EU does not appear to cave into US political pressure.
The Oracle <-> Sun case was generally agreed to be a no-problems deal. This is the part that confuses the heck out of me: Why are you jumping on the OracleSun takeover as proof that the EU can NOT influence US companies? They came to the right conclusion. As I said, the EU is not a bond villain; their motives weren't to end up stroking their cat, raising their pinky, emitting an evil laugh, and crooning: We showed them yanks! muhahahahahah! *IF* The EU decides they want to stop google or some other company from trampling on the privacy rights of EU citizens, I doubt the US political machine can stop them from doing it. Will it happen? I have no idea. Probably not, there's not much outrage from what I can tell in the EU about this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
