The punishment is far too disproportionate to the crime. The state doesn't prevent bank robbers from maintaining bank accounts. Shoplifters aren't banned from ever shopping again.
The onus should be on the party affected by the piracy to pinpoint and prove the guilt of the specific individual responsible. It cannot pin the blame on the families of a pirate any more than it can punish the family of a robber for 'not keeping an eye on him and preventing him from robbing someone'.
