Stop talking nonsense. It is up to $10 million or 2% of revenue.

And so for most websites the fine would be significantly smaller than what lawyers typically earn to litigate.

Hence your entire "no win no fee" premise falls completely apart.

Both amounts are lower bounds. "No win no fee" falls apart because the lawyers don't get a fee for a fine collected by the government, not because the fine is too small.
