Subject: Is Napster a security risk to firewalls?

My company has just banned the use of Napster and any program like it as our
network administrator says it poses a risk to our security by opening up the
firewall and therefore makes some of our servers vulnerable. I'm not a
network administrator so I have no argument against this - though I thought
Napster was pretty secure - only opening up a shared folder on my machine.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is it really a risk? I need some
argument against this one. Its really pissed me off.
