Our company once faced a huge fine because a few workers played Quake over the lan. They used one copy, copied several times, and had a huge lan party going when someone talked. The company does not know who started the lan, but they had to pay severl hunderd thousdand in fines for having mulitiple "unlicensed copies" of Quake on their system. This is when they discovered that copying other software was illegal. In the end they forked out over a million in fines or so they said. So my advice to you is, have everyone buy their own copies, and keep the receipt.

Better safe than sorry, but... sounds to me like that company more likely had someone using that as an excuse to pocket a bunch of money, rather than an actual million-dollar payout for an employee-run LAN Quake session!
