getting away with it is simple: the computers and network are owned by the company and the company can do what they want with those assets.They are used in a workplace. US Labor Law (might not apply if you're not *in* the US, but there may be a local equivalent) includes provisions regarding privacy in the workplace, which ownership of the equipment DOES NOT trump. Make sure your company legal advisor has approved any plans to deploy something like this -- it's a whole lot cheaper than defending in a federal lawsuit, even if you eventually win.
=============== IANAL. TINLA. US labor law is a joke.as long as the computers are owned by the company and provided for the purpose of performing work on the company's behalf, the company writes the rules regarding how those computers are used. there may (or may not) be disclosure requirements.
ever go to a casino? there's almost one camera for each square foot of floor space (in an environment where millions of dollars of CASH is passed every day)... what's being described is the computer equivalent, but i'm not convinced that the cost:benefit ratio makes sense, especially when other alternatives (human factors) are studied.
check with a lawyer.- -- ...atom
