The problem is that some people demand extremely high sentences or extremely invasive counter-measures without balancing theses with other crimes. You'd think such a question as I stated above is ridiculous but there are people that demand punishments for copyright infringement that are worse than some for committing heavy crimes...
Clearly such penalties or counter-measures are completely out of whack but without conciously comparing them to other, more established crimes you lack a frame of reference for what is "decent". Especially in the US (monetary damages, consenting teens, etc).
