That&#x27;s a very good reason. I don&#x27;t think it truly explains the shift, considering the larger context. They suffered similar and larger legal setbacks on data retention and they didn&#x27;t change their position on that, they pursued it further.<p>Why are they willing to drop this so much more quickly? Is the legal argument stronger here? Are the law and order people just that much more powerful than the intellectual property people? Is there a larger compromise at play, where the CDU compromises on this issue and the SPD on another?
