I don't see where it says he surfed for porn on his breaks. Email that enters the company system, that part of the spool the company pays to house and maintain - that belongs to the company. And every company has it's own rules on browsing.

Perhaps it's legal, but it's still stored and accessed using company equipment (which, again, the company pays to house and maintain). Just because something is legal doesn't mean the company should pay for the activity if it's not related to the business. FAXing your buttcheeks didn't used to be illegal, but the company never should have to pay for it, or endorse that behavior.
