Is it though? When I share a song on a public BitTorrent tracker and get caught. Should each infringement be worth six figures?
Eg an Apple laptop has a cost to build (cost being money, materials, time). If Apple sold that laptop at $2k, I don’t think they would value the loss at six figures. Given how little Apple discounts things, they probably value the loss (fairly) around the MSRP or ~10% or that.
