This is the problem - the punishment should fit the crime. If I walked into a music store and stole 2 CD's - the same # of songs this lady got prosecuted on, I would have had the crime probably dropped as a first offense, and very likely nothing would have happened to me except some sort of major warning. See my point?
I think the award is unconstitutional. This is the equivelent to getting life in prison, or getting executed for stealing a loaf of bread!
