The law that was discussed in the original article is invasive, and very big brothery. It reminds me why I run my own business, and it reinforces my aversion to ever wanting to ever work for someone else ever again.
Partnerships and freelance projects are not the same as punching a time card for someone else, and working in THEIR location, under THEIR control and rules.
Not sure why what I said is controversial, especially here on a board called GFY, populated by (mostly) rebellious individuals, but hey, to each his own.

My take on this issue is that if you accept a job offer you have to agree to certain things. If a company does not allow their employees to do personal things on company computers especially during office hours then it is their right. They own those computers and the connection it is using as well as paying for the employees time. Yes it would be tempting to sneak a peek at sports scores or maybe even search for a little porn during a long grinding day but that does not negate what the employee agreed to while accepting the job. I am not horribly fond of huge corporations but if you agree to follow the rules to get that paycheck each week then I think it is perfectly reasonable for an employer to enforce their rules.
