No of course I don't - it's a figure of speech. However, I certainly believe that the punishment for it should be a deterrent. When someone can make many £1000s from selling pirate DVDs from a market stall over a weekend, a £100 fine isn't going to be much of a punishment or a deterrent from doing it again. I'd certainly like to see a short jail sentence for such an act.
