[open-government] National legal barriers to open data in Europe

[Toby Mendel]

The idea, below, of attaching responsibility to those who are more  
likely to obey the law is attractive but ultimately problematical  
since there also (normally) needs to be a theory of fault of some sort  
behind responsibility. But I agree with your conclusions.
