Your analysis of this is incorrect. The law is perfectly reasonable, and is aimed at the organisation or person that copies the material, whether it's a bootlegging organisation or a minilab or an individual. None of them has the right to copy material that belongs to someone else. The employer is quite correct in having policies that tell their employees not to infringe copyright. They cannot push the liability off onto their employees under any circumstances, but especially if the employees have no say in the matter. If the employer subsequently punishes the employee for refusing to break the law then it is the employer that's at fault, not the law. The employer is acting illegally by doing that, and the employee would almost certainly win a case against them in the circumstances you describe.
Yeah, and everybody knows the employee has SO MANY protections against an employer's arbitrary illegal actions.
