IANAL but if it's a civil case then isn't it damages? Fine's are for criminal offences.
Now because they're factoring in a multiplier to punish this person for the one's the didnt catch - is that legal anyway? - isn't that more like a fine as it's an intention of deterrent rather than restitution?
You could argue either way and lawyer's probably will.
wouldn't it be a nice idea if patents couldn't be transferred to others except the common public? That would ensure the ones who file the patent get paid.
not really. Some people are good at inventing, some are good at producing, some at marketing. Not many are good at all. Same for organization's.
Allowing patents to be sold/lisensed/transferred allows everyone to do the bit he's best at doing.
The problem comes up with who sets the price for the patented part.
If the sale is mandatory, the question is mute; it's one cent - the buyer just needs to outwait the seller.
Put it this way, you want to sell your house and you think it's worth 100k, and that's reasonable based on what similar ones have recently sold for. But we have the wonderful obligatory sale rule in play here. Someone offers you a nickel for it. If you don't have the right to say no, then a nickel it is.
Supply and demand only works if either side can walk away and decise the deal isn't worth it. Grandparent is probably a communist.

Why wouldn't leftwing fucktards have a problem with bad editing?
Free market's are the most efficient, but to be so there has to be equal information for all participants. I dont see how you could stop competitor's sounding each other out, even if you think that's a good thing.
The thing about the Xanth books is, Ive read maybe three. You can read them in pretty much any order and they make no more or no less sense - but youll have a good laugh anyways.
Then again I'm one of those crazy people who think you should just pay whatever your tax is without trying to do a dozen shady schemes in order to avoid it.
They are paying what there tax is, by definition. Otherwise it would be evasion instead of avoidance. It might not be what you think it should be, but them's the break's.
Norway's a bit of an exceptional case - they do have a budget balancing problem. The problem is they've got huge amount's of oil and a small population, that they struggle to find things to spend all their money on.

You know I didn't see no goddam sign.

If you asked law students, they wouldn't even answer until you signed a 300 page dicalaimer ;-)

If you take a good or many people think so book such as LoTR or WoTW and make a movie of it, people will complain that its not as good as the book.
But if the book(s) are a bit below scratch the movie could be better! But it could be even worse too.
Parent might be meant as a troll, but there is an element of truth in what he says. See the book "Freakanomics".
But the currect case is because the US has worse inflation than well, pretty much everywhere except Zimbabwey it seems.
I was thinking the unit cost varying down to economy's of scale, bulk buying etc. But what you say is a possible factor too.
So I ouht to count the fact that I have tin ear's as a blessing?
... in that case the component manufaturer's should have already 'factored it in' to the price, i.e. it's already included within the part's bill.
That's just income or revenue's.
(X2*(Y2-K2)) > (X1*(Y1-K1)).
K1 and K2 are the unit cost (i.e what they buy them at) in each case (to do: insert waffle about why it's not the same).
It never costs PayPal money. It's in the terms of service.
