I disagree with the system Admin liablity. How on earth would he control a laptop user going off site and downloading and installing illegal soffware? Especially if your policy allows user to install some approved software on their PC. I believe its the user that is liable.
That is why big business locks down laptops, PCs, PDAs, etc so users can't install software. If you are allowing illegal software on company property the BSA will prosecute the company. A typical case: http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php/id;2145891778;fp;32768;fpid;1823182985 -- Regards, Steve
