This does smack of a political ruling. I am not a supporter of copyright theft but I do think that a custodial sentence and large fine are a little extreme.
The obvious intent is to send out a message but I feel they are sending out the wrong message. I strongly doubt that this will have any impact other than force the activities further underground.
What I find bizarre is that fact these guys have been jointly provided with a custodial sentence for providing what is in effect infrastructure support coupled with a huge fine, very bizarre.
