BTW, this also goes along the idea or notion that if you do something that you're NOT supposed to do at work, DON'T DO IT. Corporations are looking for any excuse to fire or layoff people nowadays -- DON'T GIVE THEM A REASON TO MIGRATE YOUR DIVISION OR COMPANY OFFSHORE.

It's pretty simple. If you work on a corporate network, using a corporate computer, during your normal working business hours, then...the company "owns" you, your data, and your little dog, Toto, too.

We have become slaves to the corporate entity, and the governments that support corporations, because governments in of themselves *are* corporations, only a little bit bigger. Funded by corporations, influenced through lobbyists from corporations, corporations and governments alike want to know what your doing.

Also, if you decide to use a tunneling program or use secured HTTP, forget it. Many large companies won't even permit you to get out of the doorway through that method. Anything inside, belongs to them.

If it's grey area now for legalities, it might not be for much longer. THINK about it. They *own* (if not now, soon will be owning) YOU.
