A disingenuous question.

A victory occurs where potential wrong-doers get the message that if
they violate the GPL for a period, they will end up with a net loss due
to having paid damages to the copyright owner that exceed their benefit
for the period of violation.

If potential wrong-doers get the message that they can violate the GPL
for some years, and then cease to violate it and only pay insignificant
damages, then that is a defeat for the copyright owner, not a victory.
