True, but my point is that if a country decides not to follow one of the directives, they can just leave if they want, they are agreements that they want to be part of, they are not merely imposed by EU. Nothing like the US and their federal government.
This is like saying that marriage and a double match of tennis are the same type of union or follow the same principle, no, they are not.
Sure dude, EU and US, same principle, same as united nations, united airlines and IUPAC. Same principle, they are a union of things, if you mean that as “principle”, sure.
EU doesn’t have rules that everyone has to follow, they have agreements, that are often very specific between nations. UK was part of the EU with their own currency for example. So no, it’s not the same type of union, unless you simplfiy it to "union of things"which of course is the same principle.
Also any member of the EU can leave unilaterally (like the UK), not so much for the US. I don’t think they follow the same principle, again, unless you think of it just as a “union of things”
“not much unlike”? They are both nothing alike, except that they are some sort of union.
I mean, if you say that in real life to anyone who is half aware of how the government works, they would laugh at you.
What no… What are you talking about? EU is not even close to the government structure of the US. Starting that each EU country has their own military, and the EU president has absolutely no power on each of the EU members military.
Any answer would be hypothetical by definition… Not sure what’s your point there.
You were the one who quoted that wage theft is a form or fraud, so I’m not sure what’s your point. Yes, some theft can be fraud… but still theft.
Stealing services doesn’t necessarily have to do with copyright infringement.
My point is that OP over simplification of theft is not even worth considering, from a legal or personal point of view.
So salary theft by employers is not really theft. Got it.
You can have something similar to what music streamers are doing. Sure Spotify has a majority, but you still have perfectly fine competitors.
I had not pirated music for more than a decade now.
Exactly, it’s a ridiculous example because it sounds just as ridiculous as saying US and EU are in principle the same type of union.
I was being hyperbolic with my last sentence so you can see how ridiculous your statement sounds to me.
