And laws be damned, it's often employee moral that takes a hit when employers snoop without consent, and that can be just as costly (if not more so) than a court case in many companies.

a lot of us work in small dev shops, where we really like our privacy.

a lot of us also work in regulated industries, where if your employer is NOT logging, then your company gets fined by $government or $regulatingbody.
