CP is illigall.

Snuff films are illigall.
Is it the making of such films that's illegal or making them and publishing them? Making publishing them illegal is another word for censorship.

So is heavy sadomasochism.

Is it sensership to shut sites involved with illigall activities?
No it's enforcing a law.

For instance if a site sets up to sell goods but sells counterfit goods, purhaps the people taking payment should be held more responible. Ie, I presume they take money via paypal or credit cards. So maybe they should do better checks on who they offer the services to.
Now you're thinking and the first one to do so, so far.

The question is, is it sensership to close down file sharing sites.
No, censorship is where you deem something like a nipple as allowed and a vagina as illegal. There's no middle ground with counterfeiting. The law doesn't say you can counterfeit a film but not a song.
