B.)  Computer ethics can be ethical to others and not for some individuals or groups. There is a need to study computer ethics to determine what should the user should do or not in such cases,such as to formulate policies to guide our actions. When a law tells us to do or not to do something, it implies that a recognized, established authority has decided that the action the law permits or prohibits is of some benefit to society in some way. It often happens that an ethical principle was the basis for any decision regarding this issue before the law was constructed. The fact that the law is grounded in ethical principles makes law a good point for ethical decision making. So whenconfronted with an ethical decision, research the law’.


C.) I guess physical law, because as cited from the book without constancy, regularity, uniformity and imperativeness, an occurrence or corporeal phenomena cannot be regarded as physical law or law of nature. In this country, there is constancy and regularity reproducing copies of the unlicensed software. So many pirated DVD available in the market. THANK YOU!
