Why?
It was massively beneficial for Samsung to steal. What if the penalty for stealing thousand dollar rolex's was 10 cents? Part of the point of punishment is to discourage the bad behavior.
For example I know a couple that was dealing insane amounts of weed. They were flying to Colorado and bringing it back to Florida. They were making over 200K a year working 2 days a week. The problem is they got busted, went to jail for several years, and every literally every dime they made got taken.
Now if I ask them if they'll ever do it again they both say no. Why? Because the crime wasn't worth the punishment.
The point I'm making is that the value that Samsung created by stealing was way more than any punishment they were going to get. As a result of this they basically said "f it, who cares." And like I said I think that even 20B may have still been too low. They may have still not worried about it because the value created may have still been well worth the penalty. A fair system can't function that way.
Are you really comparing patent infringement to those delicts? Are you comparing patent infringement to stealing?
Now I know why do you think your argument is not ridiculous
