Yeah, some of it should actually go back to the consumers. I mean, if this thing is really for the people etc, as the article says, those fine money should somehow end up back at those that has paid ridicolous prices.

These fines have become a nice little earner for the USA and EU where they take the tech companies for billions who in turn will just pass on the cost to the customers.

These fines really should go to something useful like research into Alzheimer's disease or a cure for Cancer.
