>The punishment should be blunt, uniform, and intimidating! This is absolutely a situation for fines!

To cover refund is a much bigger "fine" and the money flows directly back to those who suffered, that's not the case with fines, and fines are mostly small change for big-corps.

Just extend the rights of Customers and everything could be fine.

Refunds can be stymied, much harder with fines (the party on the other side carries a much larger stick).

But fine (pun intended), let's do both. Seriously, this sort of stuff should be discouraged in the strongest possible way.

Absolutely fine with that, plus a massive fine if the refund is not paid back in a fair amount of time ;)
