This is like the speeding camera system: Supposedly, if you were detected by the system as transmitting or receiving illicit goods, that detection is the
accusation of guilt, like the picture of you and your car speeding through the detection zone. You can either accept it, and the punishment, or demonstrate that you did nothing wrong (by producing the legally purchased file). You are still innocent until proven guilty... but if you cannot produce counter-evidence to refute their evidence, you will be found guilty.
This is basically the method by which the RIAA has been pursuing file-sharers, so there is already a precedent in-place.
