Biggest problems

Finding the perps and apprehending them, frequently far outside a country's jurisdiction.

You are right, however. Many criminals could be nailed, but investigative agencies just aren't doing the investigation. Child porn is far more likely to elicit a response than actual "computer crimes" (computers and internet are just another medium for distribution of an already criminal enterprise), and spamming from a "company" is more likely to produce an actionable case than, say, botnet spamming. Sometimes they do catch these people, though.

As far as 'piracy" goes, those who get busted are not usually of a criminal mindset, they aren't covering their tracks and using sophisticated code to do their work for them. The RIAA just gets an ISP to cough up user data, and makes law enforcement do their work for them. Money talks, and commands an audience.
