>> Punishments that are disproportionate to the offense
This is a civil matter, not criminal. The punishment is proportional to both the crime and the size of the defendant. A bug company will always require a greater level of punishment in order to induce change.
If you think that, fine them and burn 90% of the money instead of giving it to the plaintiff, to remove perverse incentives for employees to excessively litigate. Or whatever other method accomplishes the same goal. You can't just choose to be blind to half the incentives in this transaction.
