What aspects of illegal trade in pirated goods are the most difficult to solve?

Well think of the pirated movies that are on the internet, this they try to stop it but because the internt is so vast it is impossible to shut them completely because they will just create a new site in a differnt location under a different name slightly and people will locate it.

I think the most difficult aspect is that the laws are trying to apply a physical-based metaphor to information, which by its nature is intangible. Making copying information illegal is almost as futile as trying to illegalize thinking and talking.

It is one of the most basic operations of a computer to copy and communicate information, and it costs essentially nothing. It takes considerable effort to try to sabotage that basic ability in certain cases, and it’s counter-productive. As technology improves, it becomes better and better at copying more types of things in more detail.

It’s a losing battle, and the sooner people give up and invent new metaphors for rewarding content creators, the better off everyone will be (except the people who stubbornly cling to old ideas and/or are afraid it is the only way).

Detection, you can’t stop something you don’t know where to find. Until somone says those people or student are doing this or that, catching on to the piracy is all luck or taking years of stings and surveilence to find.
