You also have to look at it from this perspective. Its his home and his
network. He may be held liable for things that pass in and out of that
network. If the user is engaging in illegal activities, it will be the
OP's internet who gets cut off (and potentially worse).
Not that monitoring will really help this scenario, as the damage will
have already been done.
I would recommend locking the network down over a monitoring solution.
Not only will it can it be more effective, but it does not require the
invasion of privacy. You can use a web proxy, such as squid, to
whitelist allowed sites.
A quick google search turned up this that looks interesting:
