Laws often have to make this tradeoff between an individual's rights or an individual's benefit, and what's good for society as a whole. Sure, it may be very convenient for you if you can toss garbage out your car's window instead of having to spend time carrying it around and finding a trash can, but if everyone tossed garbage from their vehicles, society would certainly not be a better place. Similarly, it is better if companies don't attach a price tag to such illegal (I assume?) behavior because, well, even if you individually would rather be paid off, normalizing that practice will probably be worse for society. At least that's the value call being made here. Instead of thinking "Well, I personally would rather have this", you can instead think "Would I like to live in a society that condones and expresses these values". I, personally, would rather frame things in terms of society, not individuals. I do not think victims have an infinite right to redress.
