Exploring Ethics
When you use technology, you should apply the same ethics that you use in other areas of your life. To determine whether an action is ethical or unethical, ask yourself:
How will this affect others? What would happen if everyone did this?
ethics
The rules we use to define behavior as “right” or “wrong.” (pg. 126)
Ethics and Technology pg. 126–128

Exploring Ethics
What Is Intellectual Property?The law helps people act ethically by protecting both physical property and intellectual property.
Individuals or companies can apply for a copyright to protect their intellectual property. They can also use a trademark to protect a specific name or image that identifies an organization or its products.
intellectual property
Ideas and concepts created or owned by a person or company; examples are books, music, movies, software, and inventions. (pg. 126)
trademark
A name, symbol, or other feature that identifies a product with a specific owner; signified by ™ or ®. (pg. 126)
copyright
The legal protection for intellectual property. (pg. 126)
Ethics and Technology pg. 126–128

How Can I Copy Legally?In general, permission is required to reproduce copyrighted material such as:
Articles Books Music Photographs
What you can and cannot copy from a Web site is usually addressed in the site’s Terms of Use.
permission
Approval by the owner or creator of a work to let someone else use the work in a way that was not its original purpose. (pg. 127)
Terms of Use
A Web site’s rules regarding permission. (pg. 127)

UnitWord Processing
According to fair use, some copyrighted works may be legal to use or copy without permission. For example:
Teachers may copy a book page for a lesson. Students may usually include copyrighted material
in a school report. You may listen to (but not copy) a friend’s music
CD. You may use TiVo® to record a TV show for private
use.
fair use
The right to use or copy a copyrighted work without seeking permission. (pg. 128)
Ethics and Technology pg. 126–128
Exploring Ethics

Materials within the public domain also do not require permission. Examples are:
Material on which the copyright has expired Government-published information Material offered free to the public by the creators
Even when material falls under fair use or within the public domain, you should still credit the source.
public domain
Describes material that people can freely use without permission. (pg. 128)
Ethics and Technology pg. 126–128

Draw Conclusions Give one reason the owner of intellectual property would require that you get permission before using or copying material.
The Internet and the World Wide Web
Exploring Ethics
Possible answers include:
To avoid losing money when people copy products rather than purchase them
To prevent use of the material in a way not originally intended To retain credit for his or her work
UnitWord Processing
Exploring Ethics
What Is Piracy?Breaking copyright laws is illegal and can cause great financial losses.
If you copy software, music, or videos from the original disks or the Internet without obtaining permission, you may be guilty of piracy.
When you share them for free over the Internet, you are file sharing.
It is legal to download or copy the following types of software with few restrictions:
Shareware Freeware
Using and Abusing Technology pg. 129–130
piracy
The act of copying or sharing copyrighted material without permission. (pg. 129)
file sharing
Downloading copyrighted music and videos and sharing them for free with other users (also called file swapping). (pg. 129)
UnitWord Processing
Exploring Ethics
Why Should I Cite a Source?When you use someone else’s material, you must cite (give credit to) the source. If you do not, you are guilty of plagiarism—which is illegal. Your sources for a report may include:
Books Magazines
Three ways to cite these sources are:
Works Cited page Endnotes Bibliography
Citing Your Sources pg. 131–132
plagiarism
To take credit for someone else’s ideas. (pg. 131)

Make Predictions What are possible solutions to the problems of music and video piracy and file sharing?
Possible answers include:
Make it easy and affordable for music and movie lovers to legally download their favorite tracks and videos from the Web.

Compare and Contrast What is the difference between quoting and paraphrasing? How are both treated in a research paper?
Quoting is reproducing someone else’s words exactly. Paraphrasing is stating, in your own words, someone else’s words or ideas. In a research paper, quoted material appears in quotation marks. Paraphrased material does not appear in quotation marks. Both quoted and paraphrased material must be cited in-text and on the works cited page.

The Modern Language Association (MLA) is an organization that publishes guidelines for citing information from all types of sources. These guidelines appear in the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. Believe it or not, students have been using these guidelines for over half a century! MLA guidelines are helpful because they are:

it will be easy to read and understand most of the citations you will ever encounter
Regularly updated to reflect new research sources (for example, Web sites)
