This book uses the latest legal cases, statutory developments, and
mass culture references to apply computer ethics in a global
setting. Computer law and ethical dilemmas are presented in an
applied format, using concrete legal disputes, regulatory actions,
and court decisions to demonstrate that law is codified ethics.
This thoroughly updated Second Edition addresses legal and ethical
dilemmas created by advances in artificial intelligence, smart
contracts, biometrics, drones, robotics, 3D printing, crypto
currencies, smart contracts, the Internet of Things, and other
evolving information technologies. Five leading ethical approaches:
(1) Consequentialism, (2) Virtue and Duty Theory, (3) Conflict
Perspective, (4) Social Contract Theory and (5) Libertarianism are
operationalized in every chapter by applying them to recent legal
developments. The ethical perspectives provide practical guidance
on how to apply ethics and the law to diverse activities such as
negotiating or litigating computer contracts, introducing software
products into the marketplace, protecting website users from crimes
and torts, and safeguarding online intellectual property rights.
This is the first book to highlight the intersection between law
and ethics in torts, cybercrimes, privacy, contracts, and all four
branches of intellectual property law. Each substantive chapter
ends with thoughtful review exercises to help the reader analyze
the ethical and legal dilemmas posed by topics such as Internet
monitoring, privacy, and intellectual property rights. Case studies
are based upon legal opinions and regulations from the United
States, the European Union, China, and the rest of the world.
