If the cops compromise the people running the service, they could simply modify the P2P software to send copies to a central server and push the update.

How many crims are going to sniff their outgoing traffic and figure that out? And if they do, how many will still be suspicious when they call support and are told the stuff being sent to the central server is harmless diagnostic information, to enable them to improve their software?
