I agree with you. That's why I was surprised by your suggestion that investigation should involve the dramatic steps you were talking about - seizure of computer, forensic examination, etc. Do you really think that should be done in every case where an accusation of copyright infringement has been made? It would be hugely expensive and time consuming, and would probably result in the accused person losing their computer for months.
