Don't Try This in the U.S.

That is correct. Do not try this stunt in the United States of America - not yet anyway. Not until a few more Euro-socialist leaning Supremes are confirmed, such as Anthony Kennedy.
Aftenposten Norway, Norwegian news in English:
Final Porn Decision
"Norway's Supreme Court supported decisions refusing Conoco Phillips the right to fire two workers who surfed the Internet for pornographic images on company time. The two workers on the Ekofisk field lost their jobs after being caught peeping at porn on the job in the summer of 2002. The pair took their case to court and won at both the municipal and appeals level, NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting) reports. Conoco Phillips appealed the decisions to the Supreme Court in order to have a clarification of what employees can do on company time and what employers can do to enforce violations of company policy. The Supreme Court has ruled that the firings were not justified and have awarded the two NOK 250,000 (USD 40,000) each in compensation."

"Leftists love to talk about the Scandinavian countries as if they were utopias on earth. I'm just beginning to see their point."
