Private corporation seizing other's domains, non-profit organization unable to exempted from taxes, US gov wanting to access US-based company data on foreign data center, PRISM, etc. it seems the US is building a strong negative law environment against its own tech firms.
If only Europe were to take take this opportunity to become more attractive... but I haven't any faith our leader will do it.
(I didnt downvote you,what's up with people downvoting for the sake of it?)
There are weaker software patent laws in Europe,they exist but are very limited.
On the other hand Taxes are generaly higher,employement cost is higher and VC funding is close to non existant.But you might get financed by public money(with strings attached and a lot of paperwork ) So it's a trade-off.
From a pure "capitalistic" perspective the situation is better for startups in USA in the west coast.And since Europe is not really a country,it's harder to reach all European markets(different languages,cultures,fiscal policies,laws...).In USA everybody talks English.
