A Ban On Napster Becomes A Ban On Education?

Ecliptik asks: "I am currently a buisness student at the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio. Many of my classmates and I are writing a large paper for a law class we have on Napster's legal battle. Due to the current ban which our university has put on Napster, many resources on Napster's site are blocked. So what do you think? Is this not only a ban on music, or is it also a ban on educational resources as well?" I can see why you'd want to ban the Napster client, which uses resources other than the standard HTTP port, but why do some colleges block access to Napster's Web site as well?
