I am not sure if users can be punished. I could only confirm that providers have obligation to provide data under penalty.
European countries are pretty benevolent to end users, for example in some it is legal to download copyright protected music and videos for personal use. And providers already have obligation (by EU law) to provide information and archive it for some time.
