I also do not look at this as "those crazy spaniards" kind of story. I look at it from the angle of "those crazy humans have found another crazy loophole on a crazy situation and rendered it even more crazy" kind of story, which seems to happen everywhere one looks closely. It's part of the human condition.

I am not blaming the whole Spain, I am just blaming the idiocy of these people involved, and I know this is not an isolated incident, not only in Spain either but also other parts of the world. It is their attitude that needs to change, the laws could still be there but if people start at least use their brains and stop being so selfish-minded (being selfish is one thing, but being selfish-minded is another), I believe they can recover a lot faster than that. 

I still do not see how this silly application of law is related to 'their' economy .

It's also denouncing quite an ignorant view of economics.

An app of mine says moderate rainfall is 50db. And Spain being a  Mediterranean country and all. Imagine if they weren't so fervently catholic.
It reminds me of a story where a lawyer in the US tried to sue god for all the disasters inflicted on mankind.

It just hit me, maybe this law is a remnant from francoist Spain?

i think it has more to do with politicians sucking at math more than anything else. the very fact that they are horrible with money should attest to that.

I don't think annoying your neighbor with some musical noise is worth fingering them for 20 months and ****ing them over for 6. It's worth a warning from police at most, and if the warning no work, then definitely not 20 months and 6. This person is not a criminal, why treat them like such? I'm done here.

Imagine if they weren't so fervently catholic.

What the hell is this about? Spain isn't even remotely "fervently catholic" at all, and I really fail to see what this kind of analysis has to do with bad laws regarding music and noise.
