Easy with newsgroups, but will require either a change in law (which would probably come) or the assistance of courts.
The Authorities look for large amounts of data sent to/from known newsgroup server data centres. The hardware that Phorm were looking to install could probably have done this easily enough.
They organise a raid, obtaining all necessary warrants. They then look at the News provider's logs to see exactly who has been downloading what, and could probably find other nice details like their address and the credit/debit card details used to pay for access.

With paid news providers, they don't. They just need to monitor where the news provider's data centres are sending a lot of data.
