let me ask you a question would you want to live with the same proof requirement when you go after people who infringe on your copyright

if NOT why do you deserve the right to simply say "oops i am sorry for censoring you and wiping out your business" when you won't give the "pirates" the same right.

The draconian penalty should apply for all the condition that apply to infringing on copyright.

If they don't have a right to say "oops sorry tough luck" then you shouldn't either.
