Punishment should fit the crime. We don't over-punish people to force them to think differently, that has always led to dark periods in history. There are plenty of low-friction ways consumers could be reimbursed plus the cost of lost time or energy spent on a now 'broken' printer if we wanted to solve this in a fair way.

But in America people are overpunished. I often read titles like "he faces up to 100 years in a prison" when in reality it is just a poor Russian guy who didn't murder or hurt anyone, just collected credit card numbers and sold it to other guys. 100 years just for stealing a bit of money? That's draconian laws.

    4-5 years would be harsh enough for a crime where nobody gets hurt.
