I think skunk hit it dead on.  Your office coworkers have no rights to
the music you've purchased for yourself and loaded onto the server.  In
that setting, and given the limitations of SlimServer to serve a single
library, you'd need to run a separate instance of the server per user,
with each user's library consisting only of music that they have rights
to.  This isn't much different than loading a single copy of a piece of
software on a central server and allowing everyone in the office to use
it.

If you were to play one of your CDs and pipe it throughout the office,
or equivalently, play one of your ripped CDs through a single
Squeezebox where everyone can listen, it might be different.  Still,
there are licensing considerations for playback in a public setting.  I
know a bar or restaurant can't get away with doing that - I'm not
certain about a workplace, but it's probably similar.
