The precedent here is that if you deliberately and clearly help a sanctioned company against the laws of your own nation, you will suffer the consequences.

There's nothing here about the random other ways of passively sharing information. It isn't a crime to have posted a video on youtube that gets watched in North Korea. Its obviously a crime to physically go to North Korea and intentionally teach them how to evade sanctions.

What about that is related to the precedent you're talking about? You can't compare apples to oranges and call the apple orange.
