This brochure takes the next step and proposes some sample "good business practices," such as a memo to employees and a theft policy.
The guide also outlines the benefits to companies of cracking down on abuse of their networks, including:

Lowering the security risks -- from viruses and firewall breaches -- to which the illegal copying and transmission of material exposes corporate computer networks.
Preserving systems resources and employee time.
