It should be something similar to the copyright law.
For example if some movie studio makes a movie and I pirate it and share it with 1000 people they claim that i must pay 1000x$50 because they put a price of $50 for the movie
i can give them proforma that i can give them my personal info for like 1B and then they can choose if they want it or not, but if they steal it, obviously they choose to get something with price tag of 1B and i want my money
like the BOM for iphone in china is $150 but if i steal it from a shop i am charged 2K not 150.
I can argue that they did not lose 2K but only $150 because that is the cost of materials but the court is taking the final price tag, not the materials cost.
Same should be with PI data. The price tag for giving out my real home address is that, take it or leave it. (Or steal it and they pay the price).
That should be the fair thing to do. Free economy, you may sell your data for $50, other for $200, some may ask for a million, etc. It is the seller who decide the price, not the buyer.
Otherwise we can go back to the movie piracy and I say: ok, i shared 1000 copyes, 0.01 cent each = here's ten bucks and have a nice day because I choose the price, not you.
