Even a warning letter can cause emotional distress, and the inconvenience of having to prove your innocence.

Guilt upon accusation is cheaper than gathering evidence. The whole point of this rash of new laws being passed in various countries is to save money for the entertainment industry.

The cost of implementing them goes to the ISPs, which in turn is passed on to subscribers. That's the main reason these sort of schemes won't increase spending on legitimate digital content. Any spare money people had to spend on such products is sucked up by increased internet fees. And the people who want to get free content will just continue doing so using less snoopable means.
