Companies often have a few rogue employees using the co internet for pirating .
or company laptop with P2P software(used at home) installed & auto running will have implications when connected to companies network.

Management might assume that IT are taking care of all of this, without specifically be asked to .
They could argue that IT should warn management of implications of P2P on company networks, and suggest 'fixes'.

Some Hardware(& software ?) Firewalls can use packet sniffing to block P2P .
This needs to be bought , setup/configured .
