Couldn’t agree more. I’m tempted to go to that hackathon just so I can rant. We don’t need more hacks around poorly implemented legislation, we need to fix the legislation.

A few months ago I open-sourced my EuVatBanner which basically just appears at the top of websites telling customers from the EU (outside UK) that they can’t use this website! If everyone used my “solution” then the legislation would get changed pretty quickly 😉
