As for laws for finding and punishing uploaders& downloaders, you and many others here appear to oppose any such laws.

I'm opposed to any laws that require ISPs to block/deny/restrict in any kind of
blanket capacity. ISPs shouldn't have to do police/investigative work. If the authorities suspect criminal activity, there are already legal processes in place to handle those situations. Apply for a court order for the ISP to submit traffic logs for the parties in question and take them to court if/when appropriate.
Law enforcement doesn't
need new "internet tools" to deal with criminal activity on the internet. They only
want them because it will make their jobs easier.
Roads go right by many criminal's homes. Should the Department of Transportation be required to put up barricades in front of their driveways when they're discovered, and collect information on them for the police? Are the phone companies required to terminate the phone service of businesses that are suspected of criminal activities?
