Fining the company does nothing for the user whose data got leaked. Identity theft isn't a matter of degree; deterring future leakage has zero value. Either there's enough information on the black market to impersonate someone, or there isn't.

So, are you for eliminating prisons?

If I kill somebody, that person isn't there anymore, you don't think deterring other from killing other people isn't reasonable?

I think making it harder to fence stolen goods is a better use of time than increasing the penalties for theft.
