True but this also sets precedent for other cases which is an overall win. But i do wish the fines were bigger I agree with you there.

They need to do a percentage of revue, rather than a fixed price for businesses. Affects bigger companies harder, but let's smaller ones still work through it.

Fine of at least 150% of money earned, though they'll just say it earned them nothing

It sets the size of the fee the company will need to pay to do it.
