true - but you fail to recognize/distinguish the car having a legitimate function in the residential neighborhood, and P2P software as determined by the university, having no legitimate function on their network, or at least a limited one. They'd (the university) just as soon not deal with the potential risk, given the limited benefit to them of permitting it. That's what you are having a hard time getting around. And no one said you cannot possess it, you just can't have it installed at the time you use the university network.
