Zango and Odysseus are not hurt by these fines at all.

Heck, Zango just go a $40 Million infusion of cash.

Put them out of business!

Yeah, the penalties amount to a mere slap on the wrist
for them. I don't think there's any real incentive for
them to clean up their act, what with such low amounts.

I say make the fines at least 10 times that, and maybe
even allow people whose computers have been victimized
by them to file class action lawsuits.

Its just the cost of doing business to them. They should just get their assets frozen.
