*"When I look at employer/employee scenarios I try to look at both sides. If I were the employer I'd believe I had every right to determine what is or isn't allowed to be done with my computers.

The employer in this case isn't putting any restrictions on what shadowmonkey can do with his own computer. Thus, both sides are allowed to exist with each having authority over it's own computer and neither able to impose it's will on the other sides' computer. That seems fair to me."*

Exactly but I would go further and include the employees' computer if the screen were in view of customers. If viewing the galleries here could affect my business, my livelyhood, I will have control over it.

When I work at my other, on-call, job I take my computer and have plenty of free time with it. I make sure it's only visible to me and in the back as it's a one person office. However, even in that circumstance if my boss were to ask me to not visit certain sites on the off chance a supervisor could pop in, it's my job to respect her wishes. It would be selfish of me to ignore that and scream "my rights!" at her while ignoring hers.
