Ok, now can we also have a three-strikes policy please, with prison sentences. Otherwise this is just the cost of doing business.

Almost 3bn euros is one hell of a cost of business though, that's approximately a euro for every 2.5 people on the planet

But a slap which can easily be repeated (even with more force), if Google does not comply.
