Predictions: Not against the rules to copy, and unenforceable as there are only so many different prediction combinations, and especially once you take into account team strength and HFA, there are a limited number of reasonable responses.
Trivia: Not against the rules to copy, and unenforceable because there is usually only one correct answer.
Written PTs: Against the rules to copy people's responses, and enforceable because there are an infinite number of acceptable responses.
If the format of the PTs were changed, then it would be reasonable to question why some were treated differently. But whether or not the formats of the PTs should be changed is a different discussion, and not something you seem to be advocating for.
To clarify, I do feel the $2m fine is excessive though.
Well, like I said, trivia and predictions used to have a disclaimer saying if you didn't delete the quotes, you wouldn't receive the TPE. But you wouldn't be fined for copying. Trivia is 4 TPE, predictions can be up to 4 depending on the day. So to slam someone with a $2M fine for doing the same thing that's allowed for the other PTs that give you more TPE is moronic. Hence my whole "punishment should fit the crime" stance.
