With the recent introduction of Florida's Digital Bill of Rights, what are the key changes that consumers and businesses should be aware of?

Smuggling Bad for Merchants?

In 1563 Pedro Menendez was arrested for smuggling. As Capn-Gen. of the Treasure Fleet for Spain, he was accused of taking silver. I understand why authorities wanted to lock him up, but why were the Seville merchants mad?
