Well, there is this, but it is a client based solution: http://www.p2pbarrier.co.uk/ And it doesn't appear to handle Azureus.
Another client side (hidden) application: http://www.warrensoftware.co.uk/ Blocks all you mentioned.
You could also block INCOMING 6881 which will block Az INCOMING requests. That won't stop the outbound requests, though.. unless you block all outbound traffic except what you absolutely need. Which you could do.
You could also create a login script or group policy that removes those programs at each login, and then a policy that doesn't allow the user to install anything.
Personally, I would examine the machines of the users using it, and verify that they aren't downloading porn, movies, games or anything else that is copyrighted. If they are, then you need to bring it to the attention of their supervisors as it is a SERIOUS legal liability for your company. In the end, the machines belong to the company, not the users. If you don't have a computer use policy, then it is time to start considering one, or you'll have this headache forever... not to mention the possibilities of viruses and spyware that come along with it...
