File Sharing a Threat to Children and National Security

Actually, yes, it is. Parents these days don't teach their kids right and wrong, and file-sharing is definitely in the gray area. You just know that even 50% of files swapped are legal! Plus, less than bright employees could put such applications on government machines, and misconfigure them such that confidential material gets shared. (Of course top secret machines shouldn't be connected to the Internet, but still.)

I haven't read the paper yet, though. It's rather long.
