In fairness they are entirely different beasts, Phorm is relatively easy to implement.
Phorm just relies on being able to see what sort of sites people are visiting, which is plain text data, identifying infringing works means they need to keep a database of all infringing works, and examine all the data that passes through their networks against the digital fingerprints kept in that database, whilst also checking if it's coming from a legitimate download site or not.
