The government said tougher sentences would act as a "significant deterrent".
Groups that represent the country's creative industry - particularly film and music - have been lobbying hard for this for some time.

You can get less for raping someone; and as always, tougher sentences are the solution for lobbied politicans and the content industry. The only problem is it this does not really work that well: otherwise there would be no homicide in countries which still have the death sentence.
