That fine needs an extra zero or 3, maybe 5.
That'll make them suffer and not do it again! /s (for clarity)
The “why this matters” section of the article isn’t all that convincing. Sure, it’s the most NJ has fined for this matter and shows they enforce the law, but, as the article points out, it’s entirely negligible to Apple, so what’s the point? It’s so negligible, even the state isn’t going to be able to do anything significant with it.
If you think $120k is too low of a fine, I have good news for you. Looks like the article updated and the fine is now $150k.
Good news? Isn't that in the region of a few months of rent? For one(!) store?!
Could literally find that much in the executive lounge couch cushions.
Oopsie!
