ACS:Law fined a measly £1000 for data breach

Pathetic, isn't it?
As for their crappy line of reasoning that they would have made it more but the poor man is broke, that seems to be based entirely on his say-so:
"A spokeswoman for the ICO told the BBC that it did not have the power to audit people's accounts but said that Andrew Crossley had provided a sworn statement on the state of his finances."
...and in the unlikely event that it's true, and he doesn't have a nice bit of hidden dosh stashed away out of sight somewhere, frankly, "So what?"
That's his problem - he's the one who decided to cook up the whole dodgy scam, so let him suffer for it. If he can't pay up, bang him up!
Crime pays.

lol, I Just noticed that you did cover this Mark, hehehe, and got comments that I duped a post (actually it was a topic) that was posted in ThinkBroadband.. sigh

Think I'll just give up posting altogether :D
 
couldnt have put it better myself.. for normal ppl like ourselves if we owe money then we have to pay it.. and if we want to go bankrupt then that also is a sort of sentence which from whats been said would cost what his fine was to do..

still my personal opinion on the matter is the fact that if they threw the book at him completely a hefty fine would have made more headlines and the government doesnt want that because this case PROVES that the foundations that the DEB is built on are much worse than a house built on sand, and admitting that would do the media industries out of a significant amount of money which is not what they spent many years and money lobbying the government for.
