The vagueness comes in at the bit about 'anything that can cause property damage or injury'. ANYTHING can cause property damage or injury, so EVERYTHING is a violation of weapons policy should a teacher or administrator says so.
Of course, you assume that the download is being initiated by the person using the machine. With things like torrent programs and various auto-download scripts, plugins, and programs, they could be running in the background for hours before the download even starts.
Then you run into the problem of determining what is actually IP infringement with an automated capture program. Most of my downloads are my own files, or files made by friends. There's also plenty of public domain stuff out there that a lot of these file-share programs can and do (legally) access...I for one am not willing to put up with having my picture taken every time I download something just because net piracy is huge and will never truly be stopped.
