Another solution would be to use your anti-virus scan engine, I believe
all av let you specify an extra.dat file, there you would put a piece of
kazaa.exe.  When found, it's treated like a virus (erased or blocked).
You can do this with all p2p software out there.  Altough you should get
a pieze of kazaa.exe that's the same among all versions.

Anyway, blocking port 1214 is the most logical way.

Just my two cents,

For several possible reasons:
a) He may not be the system administrator.
b) The system administrators haven't restricted that permission to
certain users.
c) It's much easier to block tcp/1214 than it is to police several
hundred workstations.
d) If people actually obeyed rules when told, there'd be no need for any
such thing as 'rule enforcement'.

This isn't a perfect world, ya know.
