Like all good EU laws the upshot of this one will be more words - a few extra lines in user agreements everywhere and maybe an extra popup, like those ****** annoying cookie popups that nobody wanted and changed absolutely nothing.
There's good stuff in the directive, but this is just a massive waste of time. Every single software vendor will seek to opt out and the directive gives them a way to do it.
As consumers, do we want an extra clause in a user agreement or an extra popup or tick box slowing down our purchase? Not at all. The EU could just have said, 'you can't refund a digital good once you've downloaded it,' but no, they have to impose this pointless rigmarole on us instead. Again, nobody wins but the lawyers.
