The majority of corporate firewalls are run by morons who would flee in terror at the mere suggestion of scripting or programming languages such as Perl or C.

Maybe the security staff think they are gurus because they can actually work out an access-list on a Cisco router or *horrors* use Visual Basic in their spare time.

If you know what you're doing, by passing the corporate firewall is never an unworthy endeavour.

But I would never, ever contemplate downloading or viewing porn at work. That's a one-way ticket to humiliation and never getting another job.
