Personal Responsibility and the Cyber Ethics of Computer Viruses

Abstract: A 10 page discussion of the problems presented with computer viruses. The author contends computer viruses cause tremendous societal harm on both macro and micro levels. The thesis is presented that while the creation and intentional perpetuation of computer viruses is ethically and morally wrong, and even subject to the same societal provisions for legal punishment as is any other type of crime, we must take increased personal and societal responsibility for the abatement of the practice. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
