| Message | Mr. Speaker, We fail to see how this is superior to the current legislation. Article one is highly restrictive and it shows an extreme lack of knowledge of how software works on the part of it's author. As a company, person or group cannot force every bug into the light and even when it comes out in production often times the bug is not worth fixing. Article two is not the manufacturer's responsibility, do all products come with instructions? Do bicycles, do pencils or do baseball bats? It is the responsibility of a prudent customer to do their research not a manufacturer or producer to coddle them. Article three and four are essentially the current law except the teeth that is to enforce the law is the justice system potentially costing taxpayers billions of lira and not preventing the events themselves. While the current legislation is a preventive measure which would prevent such an event from ever occurring which would save everyone time and money.
