This isn't even punitive, but just the cost of doing business. Protip, if the fine wouldn't stop you from making the same business decision again, it's not really a fine.

Let's hope that all of these:

a setback for the company as it seeks to settle thousands of similar cases

come to similar results then.

If they have 10,000 lawsuits that result in the same fine, it might actually have an impact on their bottom line.
