Spain has been traditionally and particularly idiotic about tech legislation. Some examples:

- There was (and is) a fee on every CD-R, DVD-R, BR-R, hard drive, SSD, printer... as a "just in case it happens to store/copy copyright-protected material at some point ever" fee [0].

- They forced link aggregators to pay newspapers/sites for linking to their content, even just using their <og> tags. [1].

So such insane statement comes as an absolute non-surprise to anyone who's followed Spanish tech legislation for a while.
