It's theres. They own it. (Score 1)

Though I am on the side of privacy I think that when you sign on to a company and you read the rules and the contract and put your signature on it that you wave your rights in the workplace. Everything is owned by the company, every e-mail, every v-mail, every cached little file on my machine and in my network space. They have made it clear that they own and can do whatever they want including going through my files looking for porn or whatever makes them happy. Do I agree with this? Well, I signed the contract. Would I do it if I were the admin? If requested to, yes.

This shouldn't even come up. Why the hell is anyone downloading porn at work anyway? If people are dumb enough to be fucking around at work, then they are taking the risk and deserve what they get if they get caught.
