You're missing the point. Napster can work around much of this. Scour
certainly can (it has "push" capability, using an established
connection), and Scour fully supports HTTP protocol. You would have to
filter based on HTTP transfer, and MIME content-type to really block it
completely.
Blocking access to the "Napster" servers only blocks access to the index
servers. Actual file transfers don't involve the Napster netblock
(AFAIK). Then there is Napigator (out-of-band Napster index servers).
It will likely only get worse :-(
