Actually, that is the entire point of this law. Get rid of that part, and what you're left with is basically existing copyright law. The whole reason for the new law is to bypass the normal procedure and get around the presumption of innocence.
If they actually did take someone to court with sufficient evidence, and prove that they were guilty (as opposed to just assuming it), then the penalty copyright law already provides would be much higher than just having your ISP cut off your access.
The reason for HADOPI is so that the RIAA doesn't have to go through all of that (because they know that in the majority of cases they can't).
