There are more computer books on the market than there are discussions of ethical ways of applying computer systems: that's the sad fact helped by the publication of Stephen Northcutt's IT Ethics Handbook: Right And Wrong For It Profesionals. Northcutt is a trainer, speaker and author familiar with various ethics issues which arise in the IT world: chapters in the IT Ethics Handbook cover everything from cracking screen saver passwords and handling issues of bad code to music downloading, end-user license agreements and company responsibility.
