I don't see how "the law needs to be enforceable" can be an anti-torrent position. Shutting down torrent sites isn't working out so well. They just provide information, like Google. The actual people doing file transfers are the ones who ought to be in trouble, but that's even less enforceable.

It is enforceable. I agree that it's hard or impossible for rights holders to effectively defend their IP in the current environment, but it wouldn't be all that hard for governments to make torrenting too much like hard work for the average individual. Of course, this rightly entails questions about whether defending the IP is worth it, but that's a different issue.
