> Funny you would say that in defence of giant mega-corporations,

It is funny because that's not what I was saying. At. All.

The reply was a reply to the question of why EU countries just hired US based companies instead of developing their own. The response to that was that it would cost too much money "100s of billions of euros". Now the EU is coming up with their own versions of things like Office and what not. I was merely suggesting that they have found a way to offset that "100s of billions of euros" by fining companies billions of euros.

I feel dumb having to explain it.
