I plan to stream video from my Pogoplug Video sitting at home, to my PC at my place of work. This involves streaming personal video content to my work PC sitting behind the company firewall and using the company browser.

If I open www.mypogoplug.com using the company browser and start streaming video this way, am I using the company's computing resource,s to the point that the IT police will notice what I am doing and warn me not to use company computing resources for personal use? My understanding with the latest cloud technology is that the computing resources are provided by the source cloud (my home-based Pogoplug Video) and that by streaming video to my workplace, I am only using the company browser as a window and I am not costing the company dollars in terms of bandwith utilization.

I am IT-challenged and would appreciate an explanation as to whether or not I should even worry about my company finding out that I am streaming video to my workdesk through the company browser. Everyone here is allowed to stream unlimited video from YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so why can't I stream video from my own cloud, i.e. my beloved Pogoplug video?

Thanks,
