"Mr President, as someone rather legendary online – Star Trek’s Commander Spock – would say: ʽThis is most illogicalʼ. The growth potential of the Digital Single Market is being overstated here.
Who would buy software in a language they do not speak or when technical support is unavailable in their mother tongue? The real barrier is not the 28 countries but the 24 languages.
As a consumer, digital single market or no, I am more likely to buy American or Spanish software than German, because I do not speak German. If a UK company sells UK software to a UK consumer, there is no need for a layer of EU red tape to strangle it. Let us keep our internet free from political interference. Let us keep our internet free from censorship. Let us stop tilting at windmills, taking on the might of Google.
Sadly, many of the benefits of these proposals, like Spock, are totally fictional."@en1
