To be fair, I agree with keeping damages low/none where people are just ‘chancing’ their arm. But .. it should be recognised that there is a real emotional drain when, for example, there is a loss of services due to data breach, even if for a short period of time.

I wonder what the quantum of damages will be? It may be non material damage, but what risk to the controller? The UK has set (case law) quite low expectations in terms of financial compensation for such damages.

Got me thinking about the definition of profiteering and what is unreasonable or unethical? In capitalist societies, do we codify this in some way or is it just a moral compass/gut feeling kind of thing? Astute timing and recognition of a supply/demand opportunity are the stuff of MBAs.
