What if the company sells the copyright to the executive for $amount dollars on day $day. Then on $day + 1, the executive licenses the work to the corporation for $amount dollars?
But who is going to review the reviewer? Especially when the reviewed is sending said swag to the reviewer while claiming that it is for "professional purposes only"?
So are you going to call those Catholics that came over to found places like Maryland not American? Last I checked, they were just as American as you or I.
That's interesting. I've been experiencing symptoms like that for a while now. Usually it's when I run my favorite browser: "shutdown -h +0".

Aristotle wrote the Physics. The Greek atomists (founded by Leucippus) posited the beginnings of atomic theory. Various schools of philosophical thought established four "elements" and attempted to explain the world by those elements. Zeno's paradoxes attempt to disprove various theorems about motion. Parmenides taught Zeno and wrote poems about the nature of the world. Those are a few examples of the science that was once part of philosophy.

Religion began as an attempt at "common sense". It aimed to answer the questions like "Why am I here?" or "How did the Earth come about?". It was largely lumped in with philosophy in an attempt to logically explain the universe.
What happened was that in the course of events people started asking two types of questions. The "how" questions (e.g. "how does lightning strike?" or "how does ice form?") branched into science as we know it today. The "why" questions (along with the types of questions like "What is justice?") branched into philosophy and religion.
But the fact remains that the earliest scientists were people who were into philosophy and religion.
I know that, as a computer science student, I was encouraged (and in one lab) required to portscan/crack/defend machines. Granted, they were departmental machines set aside for this purpose. (Sysadmin course -- very useful.)
BUT, these activities can be construed as illegal (since we were hacking machines that didn't belong to us) or unethical (encouraging hacking). The upshot is that we know what some of the dangers are, if we are vulnerable, how to fix them, etc.
If our IT department blocked these attack packets, we would not have been able to download/run thses utilities. In fact, the IT department didn't like it and harassed the professor and a few students who decided to run these utilities on their own computers. The professor rigorously defends us so that we can actually learn something (even if it is on the wrong side of the law).
Granted, we were constantly reminded that we should not use the knowledge we gained for nefarious purposes....
So to answer your question, should universities block certain protocols simply because they can be used for illegal/unethical purposes? No, since they can actually be used as a learning tool (or for other constructive/legal/ethical purposes). However, the burden does rest on the student to not use the technology for nefariouos purposes and the IT departments to enforce usage policies so long as they do not interfere with the primary mission of the university: higher education.

Is that like saying "This statement is false"?

Might I propose a new term that means not unlimited? I would like to propose "limited".

No. The sole remaining human working at MSFT has been fired. The rest of the "people" working there are actually droids that Gates et al. recruited.
