Adobe made $23.7 Billion in revenue last year. 0.3% of the revenue it made in a single year...

This is insulting, both in how little it is to them, but also how little it is in proportion to the revenue made just by the fee scam in the first place. It; not even a slap on the wrist, it wreaks of them bribing the DOJ. If it doesn't hurt, it's just a fee (to them), not a crime.

Also, they'll just pass these costs on to their customers, of course.
