Heh, "Hey we're going to make a whole bunch of you criminals with this archaic piece of law, but don't worry we'll make the fine only $500."

Or maybe it'll be $500 plus they'll make you stop programming computers like they did to one guy in the US as part of his settlement.

The one I like was about the Sony rootkit DRM, it'd be a $20,000 fine to remove the rootkit virus from your computer!

If you create a law and before it's even a law you have placate people by telling them that it won't be enforced as written, well that's wrong on so many levels...
