Reuters is reporting that most companies do not block employees from downloading illegal content.
Most companies do not stop staff from downloading music from the Internet, despite the risks posed to work computers, a survey has found.
I have to admit that I do like Mashable’s take on the article.
Of course, we all know that this is because most of those computer managers are leeching ten times more data than regular employees, and they don’t want to lose their uber BitTorrent ratios. And, when the boss asks why he’s getting all those weird e-mails from the RIAA and MPAA, they can always point to “that weird guy who works in the tiny office on 3rd floor and never talks to anyone”.
I suspect that this is probably quite true! Not necessarily always the manager, but at least the support teams.
