    Fees should be based on revenue and scale up on repeat offenses. Otherwise it’s just “the cost of doing business”

      Also, that’s $5000 in 1994 money (if not older).

      Surely fines should scale with inflation.

        True but revenue/income hurts a lot more. Corps only listen to the bottom line.

        Both Nvidia and Intel and knowingly broken the law and just paid the fine while profits covered the loss.

        The system is broken.
