You make a good emotional appeal, but the reality is that someone just casually sharing a song isn't likely to be subject to these penalties at all.
That's sort of like saying the penalty against burglary would only be used against someone who steals the Crown Jewels.
If the law specifies a minimum offense at all, you can be sure that anyone reaching that minimum is at risk. We've had very many documented civil copyright trolls going after otherwise un-notable individuals, and thus abuse of criminal law is certain.
