So you would send people to jail for not giving dumb users a browser choice that is only going to confuse them anyway?

Laws should be followed. If laws are bad, you should change the laws, not disregard them.

[kabdib]

Some laws you have an obligation to not follow.

that is upto the court to deicde, tomp got a point that since companies cannot be jailed, they should be fined a percentage of their revenue!

[Tichy]

This case was a percentage of their revenue? But Tom called for 50% or 100% which seems excessive for such a nonsensical law.

I was pointing out a general principle, not this specific case. What I had in mind is stricter punishment for more black-and-white crimes: not paying employee taxes/social contributions, not issuing receipts and thus avoiding sales tax, etc. I'm pretty sure that if fines were this high, compliance would become very high as well.
