There's one simple reason.....

The kiddie porn is stored on the sysops hard drive, something that is
physically owned and typically located on the sysops premises.

The metallica files reside on someone elses machine -- someone with no
association with napster.

Using your line of thinking one could sue the government for facilitating the
internet which allows for irc warez channels which in turn are used to
propogate warez sites...etc
