Student jailed for uploading

Things have got very serious for an 18 year old university of Arizona student who has admitted uploading films onto the Internet. He's been jailed for three months, with an additional 3 years probation, 200 hours community service and around $5000 fine. The movie industry will be pleased but isn't it worth asking whether this punishment is disproportionate?
