COS20001@UFRJ.BITNET (Geraldo Xexeo) (01/18/90)
I suppose that all the computer community have already judged the worm creator in discussions around the world, so it is fair to make a jury of "non-computer" people. My point is, this trial don't eliminates the necessity of a ethical judgement. Maybe what he did is not a crime, but is clearly a violation of ethical aspects of computer use. I suggest that a ethical code, similar to the ethical code in medicine should be developed. I suppose that ACM has one, but is not the same. ACM didn't control the exercise of the computer activities. Geraldo Xexeo COS20001@UFRJ.BITNET
