Non-business use of the WWW in three Western Australian organisations.

This paper is an outline of findings from a research project investigating the non-business use of the World Wide Web in organisations. The study uncovered high non-business usage in the selected organisations. Pornography and other traditionally identified risks were found to be largely non-issues. MP3 and other streaming media and potential copyright infringement were found to be problematic. All organisations had end-users displaying behaviours indicating significant, deliberate misuse that often used a variety of covert techniques to hide their actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
