There are a number of ways:

Introducing a scheme where you can be offered an reward for grassing people up who share illegal files.

Offer ISP's money to catch and cut off users who share files illegally.

Or rather than getting people into trouble and criminalising people for something minor, offer downloaders a warning and then get them to pay small but very affordable fees towards wherever the file came from.

Its a matter of fact,that people are going to keep downloading because they don't realise they've done something wrong until they get a knock at the door. Its easy and very accessible and to be honest maybe ISP's,original file owners ect.... need to get better security systems and ways of preventing such leaks.
