Which of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines do you think students violate most often?

Which of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines do you think students violate most often?

# data[].attributes.body
I think many students don't think about the consequences of their computer use. The commandment that I think students violate most often is #6. During my undergraduate career I often saw students downloading Adobe Creative softwares illegally to use. I was in the Graphic Design program and these programs are very expensive. Students often justified this because these programs were not provided by the university. Now Adobe Creative Cloud is $20 a month for students which can add up over 4 years of undergrad. I not only see this software being downloaded and used without being paid for, but there are other programs as well that are often used without being paid for.

I'm not sure much can be done to reduce or eliminate this unethical behavior. Schools could provide all of the software that students need to curb this. Adobe could also offer a better student discount to those actively pursuing a degree in the creative field.

I think proprietary software is often illegally downloaded by students for use because often times students do not have the financial ability to pay for these softwares. It can be a hefty bill to swallow. In undergrad I purchased Adobe Software (prior to the shift to monthly subscription access) and the cost to me was over $600 with Adobe's student discount.
