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

HaileyRodrigues — 2024-09-25 01:54:50 UTC

I think most students violate guideline 6; "Thou shalt not use or copy software for which you have not paid." Many students use websites to download textbooks rather than paying for them.

Why do you think these violations occur?

I think this violation occurs because many students use websites to download textbooks for free rather than paying for them.

What do you think could be done to reduce or eliminate such unethical behavior?

I think one major issue is that people don't know what they are doing wrong. I think if this information was spread that this is wrong and awareness is increased, it would be minimized.
