In 2015, the French Court of
Cassation submitted a request for preliminary reference to the Court of
Justice of the European Union in an interesting case about forced
bundling of computers and software. The outcome was long anticipated by
the free software community which has been advocating for a long time
against this practice of computer manufactures and major software
companies. It was seen as a hope of putting an end to the so-called ‘
Windows tax’. With the decision in Deroo-Blanquart, however, these hopes seem to have been dashed.

Imagine your refrigerator ordering eggs and milk when you have completely forgotten you would be having guests and would need to bake a cake. Or your washing machine taking care of detergent supply on its own. Or your self-driving car charging itself when low on battery and handling the whole process of (self)-maintenance, so that you never ever have to worry about this again, and with your data and private life completely protected. Science fiction? Yes and no.

On 9 August 2016 the amendments of the Bulgarian Judiciary Act were promulgated, after being adopted by the Parliament on 27 July 2016. It is interesting how the general public, being overwhelmed with the scandals around the adoption of the act and its questionable texts, oversaw the adoption of those regulations related to certificate issuing, judicial act issuing, and performing any other prosecutions in electronic format. In other words – the legislative fundament for the e-Justice anticipated for such a long time.
