The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics
Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, an organization
based in San Francisco, has posted the following Ten Commandments of
Computer Ethics:

1. Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people.
2. Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work.
3. Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's computer files.
4. Thou shalt not use a computer to steal.
5. Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness.
6. Thou shalt not copy or use proprietary software for which you have
not paid.
7. Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without
authorization or proper compensation.
8. Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output.
9. Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you
are writing or the system you are designing.
10. Thou shalt always use a computer in ways that ensure consideration
and respect for your fellow humans.


(Found on my school's computer class discussion group; I thought it was appropriate to post them here.)
