The inevitable next step?

I've posted several times about the iniquitous policy of fixed penalty notices - where you are effectively presumed guilty unless you can prove your innocence, but this takes it one step further.  Under regulations due to come into effect in 2014, if you are suspected (note the word) of illegal "file-sharing" you will be sent a letter.  You will have the right to challenge the allegation but - wait for it - in order to do so you will have to pay a fee of £20!!  What on earth path is our law on?  We should be ashamed!
