This won't do it.

The fine won't be paid. The company will be closed down, and the directors will pop up with a new company doing exactly the same thing tomorrow.

Exactly this.

Cold calling will only stop when those responsible are personally prosecuted under the existing laws against aggravated trespass, with the caller, the directors and anyone responsible in between held jointly liable.
