This seems similar to the EUs requirements. It really speaks about the US laws when even archaic Japanese legislators (see Japanese copyright laws) are ahead of that market in customer rights/options.

Has the US ever been ahead of any of its peers when it comes to consumer rights?

[–] pennomi 31 points 6 months ago

No, but it also stands to profit from those violations of consumer rights, where other countries do not.

Fair Use is cool.

In principle it is cool, but large corporations can still bully you into submission even when it should fall under Fair Use.

Ahhh America. "Yeah we're wrong, but we can afford lawyers for centuries, lol good luck" land of the free

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It’s ridiculous. I think the law should be written with the expectation that the common citizen cannot afford legal counsel for an unlimited period of time.

I am not a lawyer.

How is that ahead? You mean in head count?

[–] sensiblepuffin 1 points 6 months ago

That might be the only thing, actually.

We're trending in the right direction but we're not at all in a position to be saying we're better than anyone on that front, given how much industry pushback there's been.

At the very least it's seems heavily inspired by the Digital Markets Act, which is why I'd hope that their wording will be specific enough to close those "loopholes" Apple is currently attempting in the EU.
