The nature of an incorporated business is that that individuals within the business can not be held legally responsible for its actions (I forget which accounting principle this was). If you find out that you're company is using child labor or something, do you expect to go to jail for that? In the same way, if you are using your company network to share copyrighted content then you arn't liable and it would be very difficult to ever convict you.
