Perhaps they'll be fined 1/4 day's profits and carry on like nothing happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bingo. The fines for these behemoths are pathetic. “I know what will work, let’s shake them down for their lunch money!”

What could work is to impose a daily progressing fine until the firmware change Is reversed and 3rd party ink Is allowed again.

printing all that paper in order to sue them probably ended up costing more than their fine
