It may seem heavy handed to threaten at first contact. The apparent lack of a licence is in some cases the rule of ignoring a request until prosecution by way of a 'letter of intent' of court action. So the company involved resorts to the blunt instrument technique. They never have to face the public including in court and are never subject to sanction. Guilt is the opening assumption and the onus is on the accused to prove their innocence.
