What are 'The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics'?

"The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics were created in 1992 by the Washington, D.C. based Computer Ethics Institute. The commandments were introduced in the paper "In Pursuit of a 'Ten Commandments' for Computer Ethics" by Ramon C. Barquin as a means to create "a set of standards to guide and instruct people in the ethical use of computers." They follow the Internet Advisory Board's memo on ethics from 1987. The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics copies the archaic style of the Ten Commandments from the King James Bible." - Wikipedia

Personally, I've found that within Academia, students tend to violate one of the last guidelines surrounding "appropriating other peoples intellectual output". In relation to Computer Ethics, there's no violation that I've personally seen more of than students stealing, using or copying other peoples work. While it's usually without malicious intent (for the sake of getting a good grade) it's of course still wrong.

Unfortunately, most of the time it's hard to say. Violation of ethics is different than violation of the law, though they often coincide. The primary difference is usually, simply because they can. When someone violates the law, it's typically because they have to and would be wise to consider not getting caught - criminology tells us that 'social strain' is often the root of criminality. With violating ethics (specifically computer ethics), it can be seen as a matter of convenience in tandem with a lack of considering who you may hurt. Like criminality, determining why these violations occur is motive driven and individualistic.

In my opinion, I like to think that it boils down to education. When violating an ethical guideline, there's a good chance it's for a specific reason. However, the commonality may be the failure to realize who the victim is, or that there is one at all. By educating people more, we can at least rule out the individuals that either do so because they don't realize their being unethical or because they don't understand victimology. This solution of course, however, does not consider those who are aware of the ethical guidelines that they're violating.
