"if ISPs could remove child pornography from their servers, they should also be willing to shut down the transmission of copyright-infringing material"

CP on the servers is not the same as CP on the network. Of course it's very likely that anyone posting CP on the ISP's lines using BT/HTTP/whatever will eventually get a sledgehammer knock on the door. If the ISP has illegal files on it's own servers, then yes, it is liable if they refuse/fail to remove it regardless of rather it's a civil or criminal offense to serve them.
