Why not make copies of commercial software?
Why not learn how to be a hacker and use the Internet to break into corporate, military, or university databases?
Why not go to X-rated, sexually oriented Web sites or Web sites which promote hate groups?

Have you ever done anything unethical on the computer?
In her recent book, Disobedience, Jane Hamilton writes about a character (a young man) who reads his mother’s e-mail. He finds out his mother is having an affair. What do you think about reading other people’s e-mail?
