Do you feel that 30 days in jail for Dharun Ravi is enough for filming and streaming the homosexual encounter of his roommate, which led to the roommate's suicide?

Today was the sentencing of Dharun Ravi, who filmed the homosexual encounter of his roommate, and put the act live on the internet. He set up a webcam in their dorm room, and invited other friends to watch the encounter. If I’m not mistaken, he also made disparaging remarks about gay people during the viewing. The roommate, Tyler Clemente, committed suicide when he found out.

Dharun Ravi got a plea deal: 30 days in prison, 300 hours of community service. On the news they are saying that gay rights and human rights groups are shocked at the leniency of the sentence, as are many other people.

Do you feel that the sentence was enough? Do you feel that he should not have gotten any punishment?
