The content doesnīt really define the legality of its medium ... at least if one isnīt affected by ridiculous pieces of legislation. However, as the majority of stuff transferred thru p2p-apps like kazaa is copyrighted, yet distributed without permission, it makes sense for the school to "crack down" on such use of their network.
