Perhaps they’ll be fined 1/4 day’s profits and carry on like nothing happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yep. Needs to be tied to profit for the action at a minimum, and should be gross not net. Because net can be manipulated too easily.
But instead it’s just a cost of doing (shitty) business.
Bingo. The fines for these behemoths are pathetic. “I know what will work, let’s shake them down for their lunch money!”
What could work is to impose a daily progressing fine until the firmware change Is reversed and 3rd party ink Is allowed again.
printing all that paper in order to sue them probably ended up costing more than their fine
