It has always astounded me that penalties to companies are almost always either a tiny fraction or the ill-gotten gains, or at most the total amount of the ill-gotten gains.
I'm like NO! How about TEN TIMES the ill-gotten gains? Or literally some amount which is so much it's going to hurt the company. Like 25-50% of the value of the whole company?
And if that sounds like it's too much because the company would have trouble surviving, THAT'S THE POINT!

And then they get to KEEP the ill-gotten gains! What bank robber ever gets to keep the cash for when they get out?

Should get one warning fine and if they fail to abide by that the entire company gets parted out to a bunch of smaller entities and their software gets changed to FOSS.

This is a huge thing I am hoping Europe does. To vastly ramp up humungous fines
