Some people just want to mod a game they love and play it again. There’s more than one reason to use these tools.

I understand your point just fine. Your goal of protecting people from large corps is met but it doesn’t protect people from other people.

If a drunk driver hits you and has half your wealth you’re only getting half the value of your car. I doubt very much the 30 day license suspension and points on their license will make up for that.

Restitution only includes reimbursent to get them back to the state before the crime happened. It’s just for damages directly caused by the crime. In the case of piracy no direct damage occurs so there would not be $14m in criminal restitution.

If a drunk driver totals your car you’re ok with getting less of a car?

If someone robs a bank they only have to repay a small percentage of the theft?

As long as restitution is part of the criminal sentencing I’m good with that. The person needs to reimburse the victim for the cost it took to get back to where they were before the crime.
