Well, this sounds like something this guy, and his engineers would try.
If MediaZone really is a subsdiary of this guy's company, they just might
well pull it off. Given that the transmissions are going to be encrypted,
and
he talked on here about encrypted transmissions, this just might be a
subsdiary of his company.

>From what I gather, MediaZone inked a contract with the USFSA to
webcast all the events under their direct control. If this is a subsidiary
of this guy's company, as I suspect it may well be, IT admins may well
be in for some serious trouble. If the packets are encrypted, it would
be that much harder to gather evidence to use inappropriate internet
use as a reason to fire someone. That would have to come up with
another reason, such as to tell them they are being downsized. That
is the most common reason cited. It allows a company to get rid of
an unwanted employee without having to say anything to any future
employers that call up for a reference. You could still fire someone,
but you would have to come up with another reason. Using
downsizing as a reason saves the company from finding itself
having to fight a wrongful termination lawsuit in court.
