In short: the penalty for copyright infringement is raised to 1-6 years in
prison. That means a minimum prison term of one year for copyright
infringement.
 
This is the same penalty as armed robbery, and considerably higher than
assault or rape. (I have compared to the Swedish penalties, so it's not
entirely red-apples-to-red-apples, but they are always strikingly similar,
so green-apples-to-red-apples.)
