That's the quintessential HN comment I'm talking about. Just hasty generalizations and accusations. Tiresome.
Granted it's just another data point but I feel there's real substance behind this Germany bashing and it's not uncalled for.
Also, Germany is the only EU country I've encountered where scummy law companies break citizens privacy hand in hand with ISPs to spy on your internet traffic and send you fines if you torrent anything copyrighted, while at the same time marking huge fuss about how important privacy is in Germany. Ironic.
If you move to Germany make sure to get defense insurance to protect yourself if you ever need to use a lawyer.
Compared to where?
From my three bad experiences two are from Germany and with both we lost a lot of money and time on lawyers.
