      Except that they will obviously fine them again and again and again until they comply.

      The max fine that can be imposed in such circumstances are enormous.

      It also scares other companies from attempting the same bullshit.

      They already put ads on Prime Video now and charge $2.99 a month to remove them. Expect it to be higher in a few months if they have to pay this.
