Reply to comment by HandstandsMcGoo in Three seconds of audio could end up costing Fox $500,000 by blaspheminCapn

Back when it was first created in the 1970s or '80s, 500,000 was a lot more money. I imagine the fine has not gone up in 50 years and therefore is now just the cost of doing business.

Yeah 500k is only the cost of a halfway decent house these days.

Fines go up. The threshold for meeting that fine is what never changes.

If you're ever unsure, just ask yourself, "Which way is more advantageous to the State?" You'll have your answer.
