That's again the distinction between possession and use. Nobody says "you can't drive in a residential area because your car is capable of driving that fast and you _may_ decide to drive 90 mph." If you actually _use_ your car at 90 mph in a residential area, you face consequences, just as a student actually _using_ p2p software on a network that doesn't allow it faces consequences. Mere possession of p2p software doesn't mean it is used on that particular network.
