CRACK! Ooops, my bad!

Today we talked further more into computer ethnics. There are two types of ethnics in general:

1) Utilitarianism: a decision is good if it does the most good to most people
2) Continism: a decision is good if you can wish that everybody else would make that same decision

Computer ethics compared to real life is a bit shifted.
*people think that they're not dealing with people anymore so they could say/do anything that they want without any regards to another person's feelings
*people might not do bad things physically, but virtually, they think that it's okay to do them
* hacking, cracking, viruses and piracy are ways that can destroy people's lives over the computer

-hacking: disassembling; destroying files
-cracking: destroy people's security system
-piracy/ downloading: (a whole post would come about this later)
-DOS: denial of service attack

*these things aren't mostly done by professional hackers; they're called script-kiddies
*rationalizing is making excuses for what you're doing even if you know it's wrong
