Copying data out of the network is most likely violating security policies of the company.
You sign agreements on this regard, and most likely rceive training once a year or thereabouts to remind you you of this and other responsibilities you have for working in a heavily audited environment.
Copying files out of your employer's network without their agreement is simply unacceptable.
The computer does not know if the person stealing data is the employee that read the company's policy or an outsourced janitor paid a fortune to dump a mirror image of the computer hard disk.
If you don't want a vector of attack you simply close it. It is that simple. If you need to get information out of the company then you create a procedure in which the data is reviewed and signed off by an independent party (auditors).
Sorry, but data is valuable, mishandling can land people in jail, so you ought to treat it seriously as you would treat any other company asset.
Big buyers can (and the technically literate will) request to remove or add devices as needed.
If you think Dell or HP will say no to a request from one of the big banks, as LB was back then, then I think you have not worked at that level, or your company didn't have enough cloud to force th issue on their favour.
And accepting without conceding that what you say is truth, how difficult is to pay a temp technician to remove all the DVD burners and auction them on eBay to make back some of the money?
Kenyans running and training elsewhere have similar histories about local athletes simply now wanting to train more in order to improve their performance (I am familiar with the situation in Mexico, in interviews I have read the Kenyans point to the lack of commitment from local athletes. Many Mexicans live in similar high altitude conditions to those found in Kenya, and when good training has been provided Mexican runners have won important Marathons and one held the 10000m record, so clearly genetics is not playing part on this).
In Mexico we had 2 good 400m runners for a few years. Funnily enough we found some more that were impulsed by these examples, prompting Mexico to field credibly teams in the distance for the first time ever.
At the end hard work is the most important determinant, genetics may come into play only in exceptional situations.
You can have all the genetic advantages you want, if you don't put up the work you will not be a world class athlete.
The history of sports is littered with the names of people that achieved more than what they were supposed to achieve but that succeeded thanks to their determination.
What makes you a world class athlete is hard graft, what makes you a legend is having a lucky genetic make up on top of your hard work.
Women running marathons and other endurance sports would regularly find themselves competing favourably against many men, reaching good positions, but certainly they will rarely win.
You just have to check times to come to this simple realization.
Having said that times are roughly 50 years behind those of men, which is roughly the amount of time that women's sports were kept out of the mainstream (Olympics mostly).
Paula Radcliffe would have competed successfully against most men (as would many top women runners). Venus and Serena Williams serve in average faster than Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
In many sports the differentiation is based on misogynistic views of what women can achieve.
Yes, there is a clear difference in performance, and perhaps women would rarely, if at all win, if competing against men, but that does not mean they could not compete with distinction.
These criminals have killed innocent people just to ensure a state of terror remains in areas they are interested to control.
Random killings are becoming more common, and according to Mexican experts, the reasons for this are so feeble that can actually be considered to be totally random, which is one of the main traits of indiscriminated terrorism.
.... because the concept has no meaning for the case of Homo Sapiens.
From a biological point of view we are all the same type of animal, people with an agenda pander to compltely arbitrary ways to divide people, like levels of melanine in the skin (there are peoples in Africa that differ genetically more between them than one of them may differ in respect to Europeans or Asians).
Mexican youngsters didn't have a drug problem, it was an unknown issue until very recently (last 15 to 20 years).
Until very recently we did not have drug cartels, executions of policemen, innocent people and rival gang members, until very recently we didn't have decapitations and drug dealers trying to sell pot to kids of secondary school.
Until very recently only 1 in 100 people at most in Mexico had touched any drugs except alcohol or tobacco.
You will not believe this, but what caused the current state of war in many Mexican cities was the overwhelming demand in the biggest market of drugs in the world combined with the puritanical drug enforcement efforts which have been extended beyond the borders of such market.
People in Mexico is hostage to the pigheadedness of US politicians that in order to keep their Talibanic constituencies happy, are more than willing to imprison people that have harmed no one and declare war on an industry that serves mostly recreational purposes, in countries with the poor kill the poor and the criminal becomes ever more vicious because the prohibition rewards the more crocked criminals.
Decriminalize most drug use and trading and all of the sudden there is no space for organized crime, treat drug users as patients instead of criminals, and all of the sudden you have better chances to rescues a life for the betterment of society.

You sign an agreement to abide by company policies. If you don't respect that you are toast.
Pretty simple really.
I have never worked more than 35 hours a week, and always have used all my holiday allowance.
If you don't take a stand for your own rights nobody else is going to do it.
When the unrealistic deadlines arrived, I asked who are they going to bring to fix the mess.
Needless to say I worked several happy years there.
Anybody that has been awake in the last 10 years knows that you can't transfer data in that fashion.
What you do at work stays at work. It is that simple.

Why were they forbidding something while providing all the technical instruments to commit the infringement?
What is so difficult about removing the DVD/CD burner, removing any software capable of burning a disk and then securing the PC installation?
At least they are paying lip service to security.
... is normally prompted by making stupid statement.
So will you use such sensitive language when telling a female familiar that has lost both ovaries to cancer?
No you are a neuter! Freak!
I can actually picture you acting like that....
"All top-ranked athletes are genetic freaks".
Kenyans have an excellent development athletics program. They used to figure only in distance running but now they are beginning to compete in 800m.
Jamaicans ditto, but they have concentrated in sprints.
The common factor is how hard these athletes work.
Asafa Powell, the Jamaican athlete pointed out that British sprinters are simply lazy ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/8166011.stm ).
Kenyans running and training elsewhere have similar histories about local athletes simply now wanting to train more in order to improve their performance (I am familiar with the situation in Mexico, in interviews I have read the Kenyans point to the lack of commitment from local athletes.

There are sports people who overcame disadvantages that made "obivous" they will not make it.,

Which is not the same.

Check the 50 first on each case.
Check the cut off time.
Women sports were created initially by misogynistic men that thought women could not run more than 400 metres (really, it was that bad).
There is no way to deal with one while ignoring the other.
This should be an stern warning for other countries , in Mexico corruption always existed, but drugs were never part of the deal until very recently.

Now tell me again those bastards, financed by the pot US people smoke, are not terrorists.
Tell that to the humble families of the people that were killed on the day.
They detonated bombs last year: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1841623,00.html
