> Generally, it's a distinction without a meaningful difference.
Seems like you might be as confused as they are!
> The people you're complaining about don't really care whether or not it's government or civil action.
They do, because it's always in the context of how the "gov't" levied a fine on some business, when it was actually a civil suit and there's no governmental action at all.
> They care that these people are getting away with murder and mass extortion and the only penalty they face is a meager chunk of the profits.
That's not what I'm talking about!
