Seems a bit like the ol' "cut off someone's hand for stealing" punishment, doesn't it? IMHO the punishment should fit the crime, in this case a fine commensurate with the estimated carbon impact of the illegal modification.
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoSocieties that have draconian punishment for minor infractions tend to take the view that their punishment is fitting and proportional because it's much harder to steal stuff without hands. Where is gets interesting is when they take a hard-line stance on some things but not on others. Like you get a slap on the wrist for theft from another commoner but if you're caught stealing fish from the lord's stream without the proper license you're strung up by your thumbs in some castle dungeon for a month.
