  • I understand your point just fine. Your goal of protecting people from large corps is met but it doesn’t protect people from other people.

    If a drunk driver hits you and has half your wealth you’re only getting half the value of your car. I doubt very much the 30 day license suspension and points on their license will make up for that.

    Restitution only includes reimbursent to get them back to the state before the crime happened. It’s just for damages directly caused by the crime. In the case of piracy no direct damage occurs so there would not be $14m in criminal restitution.

    Or if your pulling 4 byte data from an AtoD converter and it’s ordered 2, 3, 0, 1 for a fixed point value that you need to convert to a standard float at an extremely high rate or else the ring buffer will fill and you’ll start losing data.

    That code review was a good time.
