Re: sigh...
Now, now ...
Don't get jittery Luke.
I did read the article but it would seem you misunderstood what I wrote.
I'll try to clear it up:
I wrote that the a fine of £500.000 was ridiculous.
Whether it was the maximum permitted under the Data Protection Act 1998 or the minimum permitted under the Flying Flamingos Convention is absolutely irrelevant to the fact that the amount applied as a fine is ridiculous, maximum permitted or not.
And please read my post again:
I wrote that the fine should have been no less than £10 per data file exposed.
The word only in not there.
Cheers,
