If I had an employee visit those sites with my company's computer over my company's internet connection, I would want IT to kill his account until I were notified. Second time would be termination. I've seen how much IP violations can cost a company even if those violations were unintentional and were rectified before they were caught. Getting sued by Microsoft or Adobe for intentional piracy would put us out of business.

I gotta be honest . . . I've never heard of Microsoft or Adobe suing anyone for piracy as a result of browsing non-work sites. I'm not sure how the first part of your paragraph ends up where it ends up.

The post you replied to specifically stated the employee was on 'warez' sites, and you're responding like he was just checking on some baseball scores. If you've never heard of Microsoft or Adobe suing companies whose employees have downloaded unlicensed copies of their software onto company computers, you haven't been paying any attention to that sort of thing.
