[citation][nom]redemptionse[/nom]Its fairly easy to bypass these things with encrypted proxies and/or virtual desktops etc.[/citation]
Neither a proxy nor a virtual desktop would help you circumvent a corporate firewall in the least bit, at least not any that I have ever setup.
If you really want to circumvent a corporate network's firewall, you need only establish a VPN connection to a pay to play VPN service. Most corporate network allow VPN handshakes to accommodate their corporate guests accessing their own corporate networks. After the connection is established it would take packet inspection to see whats going on, which while possible, is against most companies policies.
Basically if your corporation spies on you (packet inspection), and you do something illegal (like torrenting a movie) and they don't actively try to stop the activity, the corporation is responsible as an accessory to the crime. The loss of "plausible deniability" for illegal activities performed by end users is more costly in culpability for almost any company.
