Probation? That sounds a bit too lenient for this situation.

A jail sentence seems too harsh for civil litigation, right? I think it’s more about financial penalties or injunctions.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like probation could be an option, but it seems more likely for criminal cases.

I think the defendant might face an injunction, especially if the distribution of private information is ongoing.

I'm a little confused by this question. I'm not sure if I fully understand what it's asking. I might need to review the course material again before answering.

Both have their pros and cons when it comes to portability. I'll need to weigh the factors to decide.
