      Companies have been fined way less when their product literally kills someone.

      Agreed. I’m guessing it’s written in law something like $100,000 per download or something, and it got downloaded a lot.

      It financially ruins him for life and sends a strong message though, which is presumably the point.

      The problem is not the he got a laughably high fine, it’s that the others don’t. I think something in the hundreds of thousands would be more appropriate for a private individual. I expect an appeal to reign that in some, if filed.
