Limitations on demands should apply to lawfuls enacting fines as well, since there are many police and military pilots who will demand that cargo be dropped in addition to a large (indeed, larger than what most pirates ask) fine.
I don't agree with the no-drops thing. It's too great a disincentive for cargo piracy. Pirates are already at a disadvantage to lawful snubs when they fly a transport for piracy; they shouldn't go without anything at all when a trader refuses to pay the toll. Some ships can be a real pain in the rear to take down, and blue messages don't cover maintenance costs or drug expenses.
