Surfing Porn At Work OK In Norway

from the get-back-to-work dept

Two Norwegian workers won $40K each after a court ruled they were wrongfully fired for surfing porn at work. After Norway made it illegal to rip CDs and outlawed Google this year, I was beginning ton wonder if Norway was technologically backwards. Now, maybe Norway sounds like a nice place to live. Anyway, back to surfing porn... um, I mean.. work.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Thanks for the heads up

    Good to know Dennis. If I'd ever meet you I'd know not to shake your hand. Whatever people choose to do in front of their personal computer outside of work is their business, but at work? Give us a break. Do you really want your coworkers wanking off in the next room? Ick!
