Hi Tony.

Actually, the company (IIS) was sued because it _actively_ _provided_ the server for their employees. Full story (from the RIAA poitn of view) can be found here.
No decision in court though, the RIAA and IIS agreed on a payment of 1Mio.$.

No chance the RIAA would be able to sue a company because one of their employees provided a streaming server on his own hardware and not even from inside the building. They would probably have a hard time to sue the individual either. He is probably owning the CDs re ripped the MP3s from, and they would have to prove that he intended to provide those MP3s to his co-workers. If he just "accidentally" had the server open to all, they would probably only achieve an order to shut that server down.
