[ILUG] Legal

[AJ McKee]

This is a very murky area of the law. In theory the company does have the
right as it is their network. In tort there "could" be a remit for an
offended party to take an action against a company who did not take
"reasonable" steps to prevent their network from being misused by an
employee. EG. User at company x hacks compy y from the network in company x.

Although once you sign a contract that states that observationis done, bang
there goes any defence.

Eh, don't sniff, it wil get you in trouble, unless you have it in writing
that you can.

If they have a "EULA" on logon, then read it. Our's says, don';t do this,
don't do that. Do you agree, and we all click yes or cannot work.

Its all entirely legal as we all signed that wee paper saying I have sold my
soul to such and such a company.
