When i was in primary school you rented them. ( both in actual hard dollars, and in taxes )
In my college, like your experience, a lot of times they would change the book 'just enough' so the next class wouldn't get to use them and had to buy their own copies new. ( that is what you get when your professors write the books that are used in class )
Off the top of my head i doubt much of the middle east has gone digital. I am sure there are others ( aside from the US, i still print and us-mail my taxes in each year )
Just because you have a right doesn't mean you shouldn't protect yourself in whatever way you can.
Sort of like walking out in traffic on a 1 way street and only looking one way.. sure the guy that just ran you over shouldn't have been going the wrong way, but you are dead.
It's a cycle..it will pass and come back. ( like most people with kidney stones know... it works the same way.. where there is one, there is normally more just waiting to ruin your day when you least expect it )
However, i am not so sure this trend will pass this time. People want their 24/7 'online services'.. they are destined to go down this path.
Depending on where you live, you get x amount of minutes of paid break time for x amount of hours worked. So technically its your time in those cases. Similar to how vacations (normally) work, they may be paid but they are your hours.
But regardless of that, if you are hourly they can force you to clock out to go on a potty break, or have card readers and cameras on the doors to see who is going inside when for those that don't have time clocks. ( i have seen all of the above combinations in my travels as a contractor.. really frustrating when you have to go find someone to let you into the john ). Sure they cant put it in the stall, but they don't need to know what you are doing in there, they know you are not working..
As far as monitoring you on your own phone on your own time, that isn't even remotely close to the topic of company equipment on company time.... But to answer the question anyway, are you on their property ? if so, they might... Some ban phones/cameras etc on property anyway to avoid security leaks, so in theory you could be canned on sight in those places.
And sure, not all places are like this, just that they can be. Some need to be due to their employees screwing around on the job and have to be babysat, while at other places their employees take their jobs more serious and actually do them.

Or the police arresting the bastard and using his statement in court.
Apparently you are a fool too, and should also lose your license.
Its how politics has worked since its inception. Sad and disgusting, but true.
They are self-centered and everything is about them, and them only. Common courtesy and respect are gone in that generation..
Do that around me in the office and you are fired, or at the least off the project. Do it around me personally, don't expect to be a friend.
Driving like a fool puts everyone on the road near him in danger. He should be sitting in jail, and lose his license.
More for the rest of us i guess. Their choice.
How good can a company be if they offer you a job solely on your so-called resume?
No interview, no verification..
Doing this in a hat to cool your head would be more effective i would think. And wouldn't look so damned stupid either.
Rumors don't count.
Or watching movies, reading emails, or whatever else it might be capable of doing.
Is there a price yet for yet to be released product to compare with?
No.
Well, at least we know the rules haven't changed any, nor the outcome.
Why don't you go back to Russia where you belong, with the rest of your comrades? You don't belong, or deserve, to be here.
I see you are a socialist, so we have nothing more to discuss. Have a nice time in line for your cheese.

Not allowed there.

Then you move to a less oppressive and invasive country.
Don't use the network. No matter what you do to prevent it, there are holes if you are well funded ( and have the fear of the 'law' behind you )
That will only serve to drive people more underground and harder to find. No one can stop the movement. Data will be free.
Good, as i like my little dark corner of the world where those leeches don't exist.

Not much longer.
