That alone wouldn't suffice. You also have to make sure all employees
took notice of the policy. A common way to achieve that is having them
sign the policy.

It depends on the jurisdiction what is required.

True. However, I'd suspect that the above applies to most jurisdictions
in Europe and North America.

Again, it won't hide what they are doing or that they are breaking
company policy or laws, it only hides the content of the connection, but
we don't need to know what they are doing, only that they are connected
to a non-business site - it's that simple.

Oh, and getting work done means nothing - if the company policy is
against it, then it IS UNETHICAL to listen at work - that's a violation
of COMPANY POLICY AND THAT MEANS IT'S UNETHICAL.
