Saying that I have to identify the theives, find a way to contact them, politely ask them to stop (DMCA), do a follow up, start the whole 5 year process of lawyer/court to try and sue some 15 year old in moms basement - they are fuckin stealing a product - cops need a way to enforce. Theres a million websites and theives out there - no one has the bankroll to 'civil suit' them all.
if someone steals my car - I call the cops. But you say that if someone steals my digital product, then its up to me to be the cop.
again I ask - what legal rights do I have to get someones ass busted by the law? (and I'll keep rephrasing this question til you address it)

try and get the cops to go after someone making copies of videos one at a time and giving them to their friends. That is the level of infringement that you are trying to justify police involvement. The network creates a massive infringement (assuming you don't setup a private tracker).
But that is the point the private tracker solves the problem completely, sueing for the economic damage of the breach of contract and ignoring the copyright issue completely solves the problem.
So why do you need to change the law, and take way peoples right (like the right to be presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty).
monetizing is the better solution to praying that some politician can be suckered into writing a law that stomps all over people rights to provide you with the protection you want but don't need (because you can already solve the problem with a private tracker).
