Exploring Ethics

When you use technology, you should apply the same ethics that you use in other areas of your life. To determine whether an action is ethical or unethical, ask yourself:

How will this affect others? What would happen if everyone did this?

ethics

The rules we use to define behavior as “right” or “wrong.” (pg. 126)

Ethics and Technology pg. 126–128

Exploring Ethics

What Is Intellectual Property?The law helps people act ethically by protecting both physical property and intellectual property.

Individuals or companies can apply for a copyright to protect their intellectual property. They can also use a trademark to protect a specific name or image that identifies an organization or its products.

intellectual property

Ideas and concepts created or owned by a person or company; examples are books, music, movies, software, and inventions. (pg. 126)

trademark

A name, symbol, or other feature that identifies a product with a specific owner; signified by ™ or ®. (pg. 126)

copyright

The legal protection for intellectual property. (pg. 126)


UnitWord Processing

How Can I Copy Legally?In general, permission is required to reproduce copyrighted material such as:

Articles Books Music Photographs

What you can and cannot copy from a Web site is usually addressed in the site’s Terms of Use.

permission

Approval by the owner or creator of a work to let someone else use the work in a way that was not its original purpose. (pg. 127)

Terms of Use

A Web site’s rules regarding permission. (pg. 127)


Exploring Ethics

SoftwareTelevision programsVideo gamesVideos

UnitWord Processing

According to fair use, some copyrighted works may be legal to use or copy without permission. For example:

Teachers may copy a book page for a lesson. Students may usually include copyrighted material

in a school report. You may listen to (but not copy) a friend’s music

CD. You may use TiVo® to record a TV show for private

use.

fair use

The right to use or copy a copyrighted work without seeking permission. (pg. 128)


Exploring Ethics

UnitWord Processing

Materials within the public domain also do not require permission. Examples are:

Material on which the copyright has expired Government-published information Material offered free to the public by the creators

Even when material falls under fair use or within the public domain, you should still credit the source.

public domain

Describes material that people can freely use without permission. (pg. 128)


Exploring Ethics

UnitWord Processing

Draw Conclusions Give one reason the owner of intellectual property would require that you get permission before using or copying material.

The Internet and the World Wide Web

Exploring Ethics

Possible answers include:

To avoid losing money when people copy products rather than purchase them

To prevent use of the material in a way not originally intended To retain credit for his or her work

UnitWord Processing

Exploring Ethics

What Is Piracy?Breaking copyright laws is illegal and can cause great financial losses.

If you copy software, music, or videos from the original disks or the Internet without obtaining permission, you may be guilty of piracy.

When you share them for free over the Internet, you are file sharing.

It is legal to download or copy the following types of software with few restrictions:

Shareware Freeware

Using and Abusing Technology pg. 129–130

piracy

The act of copying or sharing copyrighted material without permission. (pg. 129)

file sharing

Downloading copyrighted music and videos and sharing them for free with other users (also called file swapping). (pg. 129)

UnitWord Processing

Exploring Ethics

Why Should I Cite a Source?When you use someone else’s material, you must cite (give credit to) the source. If you do not, you are guilty of plagiarism—which is illegal. Your sources for a report may include:

Books Magazines

Three ways to cite these sources are:

Works Cited page Endnotes Bibliography

Make it easy and affordable for music and movie lovers to legally download their favorite tracks and videos from the Web.

Charge a little more for blank CD-Rs, to make up for money lost due to file sharing.

Add bonus features to CDs and DVDs, so people will still want to buy them in stores.

Paraphrased material does not appear in quotation marks. Both quoted and paraphrased material must be cited in-text and on the works cited page.
