If the ECJ can decide this, the plan would no longer be certain disaster. Instead, the ball would be one bounce away from disaster. Before adopting such a system, Europe should rewrite the plan to make certain software is safe from patents. If that can't be done, the next best thing is to reject the plan entirely. Minor simplifications are not worth a disaster; harmonization is a misguided goal if it means doing things wrong everywhere.
