Before you pay, you are given a warning. So you know there may some abuse be going on. So you can find out the culprit.
This has more to do with education than with anything else.

Warnings mean nothing unless they are directed at the guilty party. This is a scatter-gun approach. Parents can't be expected to install CCTV or keyloggers or waterboard their kids to find out who's the culprit. Pirates can be pretty good at hiding their activities from other family members, who are usually no more computer-proficient than click-and-point.

Where did you get the idea that you internet access could be cut off because
your kid downloaded some ebooks?

....However, the Act includes a provision that could, in future, see the guilty punished by having their internet service cut off......
