How come there is no similar concern in the US?

Webcamgate case resolved. Badly
The case was resolved – more or less – last week, when the school district agreed to pay out a $610,000 settlement: $175,000 for Robbins, $10,000 for another student, the rest to their lawyer. So what happened to the school administrators, to McGinley, Matsko and the others who spied on teens at home, then lied about the extent of it?
Nothing. No jobs lost and no financial consequences, either – they're not responsible for the $610,000 payout. The municipal insurer will cover it, then charge higher premiums to Lower Merion taxpayers. The same people whose rights were violated will foot the bill for those very violations.
Oh gee, what a surprise...
Leaked Letter — BSA Pressures Europe To Kill Open Standards
Posted by Soulskill on Sunday October 17, @08:15AM
"The Business Software Alliance is trying to kill open standards. Free Software Foundation Europe has gotten hold of a letter in which the BSA tries to bully the European Commission into removing the last traces of support for open standards from its IT recommendations to the public sector. FSFE published the BSA's letter (PDF), and picked apart its arguments one by one."
