Silly confidentiality notices are usually enforced by silly corporate IT departments
Oh, no, it's the *legal* department (or maybe HR) that is to blame. I actually had a guardhouse lawyer kick and scream about us not putting disclaimers on our emails. I told him, "You do realize that email disclaimers have no legal standing, have never been successfully used in any litigation, do nothing to prevent loss of corporate assets, and actually increase our liability by outlining a corporate policy that may not be followed 100% internally by all employees, right?" It took a long while and an embarrassing number of meetings with senior management, but we eventually put a stop to the whole thing.
