Yes. Or at least hint at it, at which point someone will probably volunteer or let slip some information that gives you a rough shape of the causal chain, at which point you know where to dig and pressure further, and eventually convince someone to confess or get a warrant to be sure.

If the prosecuting side has a reason to care that much, it doesn't matter whether it's 10 or 100 people - in fact, if it's 100 people, the original source is in deeper shit because this is now obviously not just personal use, but distribution.

Sounds nice on paper but it becomes exponentially difficult when many people are involved, and some groups of the vectors XOR'ed together also demonstrably result in legal content.
