what would be an appropriate punishment etc be?????? castration and blinded for a start...all funds sent to said charities bar some assets left for his dependants??? maybe the good old "off with his head" would be more fitting????

100k worth of porn... I thought he would already have taken care of the vision adjustment himself... See this link - safe for work.

But yes, the 55K does not on the face of it reflect the principle of proportionality (unless in deed he was now skint and that was all he could come up with -- in which case 55k would hurt him proportionally worse than of he'd been loaded and had to pay a full, proportional 100K).

Someone mentioned going "Old Testament" on offenders. According to the Moses Code, someone caught thieving would be required to pay back threefold the amount worth stolen. Presumably the threefold restitution covered losses associated with the theft as well as adding a deterrent effect. No hand chopping though - a gross example of disproportional, vindictive punishment.
