The question of 'right or wrong' is not extremely the point to consider here. However, if you download a GoT torrent and you're warned not once, but twice that you will receive a fine able to bankrupt you should you choose to do it again should teach you a lesson. If you choose to ignore it, you're the fool. Same theory applies here, he was warned, fined, penalised not once but twice and he would know, just like anyone, what the repurcussions would be for a third offence.
Do the crime, do the time.
It doesn't matter whether it is indeed a crime, or whether the punishment is fair, the fact remains: he cannot change the law, therefore he needs to act within it or suffer the consequences.
