A lot of other questions should be asked about how and what he really 
collected. Unless the ends now justify the means, other things to consider 
is who violated what in this episode.  Which is the worst offense, 
misusing company assets by playing games or misusing company assets by 
inserting unauthorized spyware and spying on fellow employees?  My guess 
is the management thought the latter was much more egregious. While a 
company may have the right to monitor employees actions,  employees never 
have had the right to spy on their fellow employees. 

If you think it is ok to spy on fellow employees because you think they are 
violating some company rule, is it ok then to place cameras and the like 
in offices/bathrooms or other places because you think someone is doing 
something in those places that violate company policies?  What if he had 
not gathered any data of any wrongdoing?   Was he still justified to do 
the spying on his own initiative?

Obviously the people that terminated him had a look at what he did and how 
he did it and concluded he crossed some line.  

He apparently forgot that crusaders, since the word was invented, quite 
often get impaled upon the very cross they think they are defending.  One 
man's rightiousness is another's fanaticism.
