No they should be punished. Equal punishment is fine with me. I just don't want to see Sony having to give up all of their copyrights because they took down some shitty little site where the owner was making $50 a month. It should be equal. A movie company should be able to show the value of a movie that is being pirated on that site. If the site owner can prove that the damages they received were equal to that value than I wouldn't have a problem with the movie company losing control of that copyright, but not all of the copyrights that they own.
