OK... this is pretty late, but never too late to respond to lame comments. Yes, the woman was a moron to file suit and, imho, it was a frivolous lawsuit.. but SO WHAT !! That is the world we live in. What should a company's response be ? Should it continue waste money losing lawsuits so that perverts among their employees will not be inconvienced in their porn pursuit. Generally speaking, companies do not provide Internet access as an entertainment source for employees. I do agree that modifying content is not the best approach. Offensive content(and what is offensive is defined by the "golden rule" - the one with the gold makes the rules) should be simply blocked. No need to use perfectly good bandwidth for offensive material.
