Carla Tomino, a secretary at NorthWestern University in Evanston, Ill., says she was fired July 23 amid accusations that she had stockpiled some 2,000 music files on her work computer in violation of a policy that bars personal use of company resources.
The files were discovered during computer maintenance, Tomino said, after her computer froze. Tomino said she had copied many of the files from CDs she had purchased, but that NorthWestern nevertheless contends some of the files may have been pirated. |
At the time she was fired, Tomino said, she was told that the school had been contacted by former Beatle George Harrison's music company in regard to alleged unauthorized works in her MP3 collection.
Sure, downloading MP3's in your bosses time is bad, but doesn't everybody do it ?
