- Is plagiarism at all like downloading music illegally from the Internet? Why or why not?
- Describe at least 2 other examples of ethical violations directly related to technology. What makes these examples unethical?
- How would you feel if you spent a long time either painting or composing a photograph of a loved one and then found it being used on some company’s website without giving you credit or compensation? Describe your reactions.
