:Was the last proposal rejected because it was too lenient?
It just kicked people off the internet.
This proposal fines people hundreds of thousands of Euros and jailtime.
Maybe they are sending a message: accept this version or the next one will be even harsher.
I suspect that by being forced by the high court to add court hearings to kick people off the internet to the bill, that was seen as adding a lot of costs to the state to the process. And therefore, cost recovery thru fines and the threat of prison would reduce costs two ways. The fines recoup some of the costs. And the threat of prison reduces thru fear the number of cases needing to be processed.
