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.
