- cess11 2y agoOne is payed to the state, the other to another person, as in one regulates the relation to the state, the other the relation to another person.
- HPsquared 2y agoWhat's your view on statutory damages for copyright infringement? "Wilful infringement" has statutory damages up to $150k per work. This is similar. Like this it's a punishment imposed by the state, through the medium of inflated damages.
- cess11 2y agoNo, I do not consider damages in copyright infringement a punishment. Whether damages are measured correctly or not in some case or other is beside the point I was making.
- ada1981 2y agoI’m confused what you define a punishment as then.
