Last link doesn't work for me. The others focus mostly on the expectation of privacy that an employee has. Which makes it certainly harder to assert that a device was used for private purposes. But these articles don't really establish that private "fair" use is by definition allowed. I'd argue that if the employer had a way to determine in a noninvasive way that you used the computer for private purposes, that these articles hardly apply. How about some endpoint security scanner that asserts that you have illegal MP3s... in a folder called "Private"? What you and I both found is that employers need to treat employees equal, when asserting private use, and that it's a tough case in court anyhow, but that's not the same as it being legal.
