They don't lack measures, they lack motivation. They are not inclined to to protect any kind of marginalized community. Never have been, and they never will be.

Protecting copyright reinforces the system -the status quo. There's a financial motive, there's a social motive. That's why you see a lot more action on that front.
Protecting the marginalized is against the interest of far-right aligned groups (many, many, many law enforcement people happen to be far right, as do many in the judiciary, and FBI) -they see the silencing of "freaks" and LGBT people as being a Good Thing. Therefore Law Enforcement is anti-motivated, and the time (AND MONEY) that they spend on cases they don't care about to begin with is TIME AND MONEY taken away from persuing things like...policing copyright, or engaging in civil forfeiture or other profit-driven activities.
It isn't peculiar when you think it through. Disgusting and absolutely depressing -yes. But not peculiar. It makes perfect sense from their point of view.
