You've left about 10 comments on this topic posing questions and soliciting information from other people. Curiosity is good of course, but at some point you should consider contributing information to support your point of view instead of expecting everyone else to provide you with information. It's not like you're a judge in this case with decisional authority and an obligation to assess the fact pattern in splendid isolation.

Sure. My view - we need concrete data about the actual harm done in cases like this. We have such data for most other types of crimes. In my opinion, saying that something bad "can" happen is not sufficient to determine the punishment.

Note this is not the same as being against punishing illegal sale of private data.
