Technology moves far faster than we normally predict it.
Who would have thought even in a few years CD's DVD's and even BLU Ray's are out of date with decent internet connection.
However not all old technology disappears -- for example even though the automobile has displaced horses we still ride them for fun and old VINYL records seem to be bucking the trend and are coming back into fashion.
However one piece of "Dinosaur" technology that would be impossible to police 100% or even partially is old fashioned "Snail Mail" --people could still send and exchange files change that way.
Email also is pretty near impossible to track globally especially if attachments were scrambled or even converted to scrambled ASCII text and converted back again by the receiver.
We used to do this back in the old days Mainframe days when old email systems (such as IBM's PROFS - PROFESSIONAL OFFICE SYSTEM) couldn't send binary data for example -- EXCEL spreadsheets and the like --EXCEL had just started back then and even from day 1 was incredibly popular compared with a predecessor known as 1-2-3 and later became Lotus gobbled up by IBM with LOTUS'S only surviving product --probably the worst piece of groupware on the planet - - LOTUS NOTES. !!
The sheer volume of email to police would probably require the entire population of the UNIVERSE to work on it !!!.
