Why is it evil for an employer to monitor what their employees are doing with computers that belong to the employer? In my opinion, it is wise for an employer to protect themselves, both from things such as sexual harassment and defamatory lawsuits, as well protecting themselves from employees spending company time (read: money) on non-work related web sites.
