Do you think the police are actually policing the internet?

Even if you didn't mean your local police, and meant a national body like the FBI, the truth is they focus on other crimes (eg. child abuse), and even then they are woefully unable to handle even most of those crimes.

The vast, vast majority of copyright enforcement comes from copyright holders ... not the internet copyright police.

Of course not. But first a copyright holder tells the police, and then the police enforce it.

The police rarely find crimes on their own -- they are almost always acting on a request from someone else.

Nitpick but police follow the courts, not the copyright holders.
