There is a major difference between policing a criminal you can see, arrest and kill back in the wild west, verses doing so with someone who can hide behind a screen name and some computer code, who is thousands of miles away in a country that encourages the activity.
On the other hand, policing the Internet is akin to policing the 1st and 2nd amendment. It is difficult to police the Internet, without infringing on the rights of common citizens.
