If the fine does not exceed the value of the gain, is there any incentive to comply with the law?

The amount might very well exceed the value of the gain. My presumption is that the harddisk industry is a margin business. I would be surprised if they have profits of more than 5-10% of the 1.1b.

My point is that revenue is not gain? Like if I’m a retail store reselling at 10% profit $100 of revenue only represents $10 of gain.
