Working as IT for the federal government I can see the companies and the legal system point of view. After all working for the federal government I am responsible for monitoring the usage of the computer system by the employees and I see a lot of things that could get people in trouble, most looking at porn, however only twice in the last 5 years have I seen someone get fired and get in legal trouble for the computer activities.
