Chapter 8 IOI Software Ethics
I purchase a DK Mulitmedia CD with my own money and lend it out to a fellow teacher. Huh... What to do when she goes and makes copies of it and distributes it to other fellow teachers??? EASY!!!! I know what I would do. I would report her. My job may be on the line because of her actions. My school could be fined because of the copyright laws and I feel that I am liable because I lent it to her. I know I wasn't aware that she was going to make copies but I lent it to her. I thought she was just going to try it out and see if she wanted to purchase one for her classroom. I am not one to ever go and tell on people but it this case I am going to be in big trouble if not loose my job because of what this person did so therefore I am going to report it to my principal and take my principals advice on what steps I should take next!!! I have also now learned a lesson not to lend anything out that could get me in trouble!

Wow. You would think she would have thought about the consequences before doing something like this. Hope everything goes well for you. Keep me posted!!
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy the trouble that you can get into with this. I wouldn't lend it out, or maybe I would, but if she signed some kind of agreement or if the principal witnessed it. I would be really upset if this happened to me.
