You posted the 10 commandements for computer ethics. But do you think that these ethics should be be in use at all times? Do you think that the entire internet should be under watch to make sure people don't break these commandments? If so if they do break these commandments what do you think the consequence should be? Are there credential resources to back these questions and answers?
Should there be laws for using a computer similar to you r commandments? What if here were computer/internet police that went around giving "cyber tickets". Is this too far feched, or will the internet really come down to this kind of control needed in the futue?

Internet behavior is something that is not governed by laws or rules, but the service provider does make you sign consent for acceptable policies and codes of conduct. But these policies, as we all know, are never read by anyone. Do you think if people read these rules they might actually follow them? And should Internet providers have to take more responsibility if one of their users is acting unethically?
