I've read your GPS posts and this post on the unsecured computer as "fair game" for otherwise criminals. I've enjoyed all three.<BR/><BR/>Over the past ten years or so I've followed, sporadically, how law is reacting to technology. I can buy a book at the used book store, without compensation to the author; but, I can't burn a copy of Word for my home computer. From an ethical viewpoint I am taking in either situation. The only distinction I find in the two takings is that technology has made a small problem for creators big by making the taking easier. In my head, ethically, I do not feel guilty when buying used book. I would feel guilty stealing a software program by burning it. Being a lawyer, I'm often caught between my legal training and my ethical ponderings. Enough. Again, enjoyed your posts.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.com
