Because it emphasizes the fact that P2P IS NOT NECESSARY. It's not necessary
for free speech. It's not necessary to give users access to ANY service or
content. It is only SOMEWHAT useful to thieves who want to cover their tracks
(and if they knew better, they'd know that they can still be found). In short,
it is not necessary for ANY legal purpose; blocking it or prohibiting it would
only thwart illegal activities. And for that reason, it is not only perfectly 
reasonable but a good idea to block and prohibit it.
