According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live.. Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they've already made the deal on compensation.

Because even if they take a hit for FY23? They made massive profits off doing this since FY03. It means absolutely nothing.

Well what do you want? It's not like they can go into a time machine and go back and hit them harder with fines back then.

I'm not arguing that there hasn't been failures in holding these companies accountable in the past. All I'm saying is it seems to be happening now, and continuing into the future.

To say it's useless it's just false, you got to work for the day you're in and in the days to come, you can't do anything anymore for the days that have been.
