I'm fairly sure it's not all traps by the police. The tv show I mentioned in the first post also had some pieces on those who got caught, and those had tens or even hundreds of thousands of illegal pictures/videos on their computers. Since I can't imagine the police to first supply people with vast libraries of CP before arresting them, I'm fairly sure they got the files in other ways.
Aside from that, something like Freenet is still considered to provide virtual anonymity - in China, for example, it is rather popular with dissidents.
Furthermore, I find it hard to believe that the police is entirely responsible for spamming p2p networks with contents with such names to such a degree. That would be like the police plastering signs saying "Get your heroine here" all over town.
As a final note, almost always when you hear about cp busts, they mention credit card data, which leads me to believe that the police focus, for a large part, on trap sites.
I'm sure internet traffic is being monitored, and that much is tracked. However, I'm equally sure that right now, not enough is being done to stamp this out.
