Unlike in the US, in Europe we don't have the concept of punitive damages. Claimants will only ever get, at most, a compensation for the losses they can prove they have had and fines go to the state, not the claimant.
Punitive damages in terms of IP are allowed in the EU, but up to individual member states. Ireland and Cyprus currently allow punitive damages as did the UK did when it was a member.
Penalties only for distributing is quite different from no penalties at all.
