Module 13 - Discussion

1. Are you in favor of the enactment and enforcement of laws that will regulate and control the use of computer technology? Explain your answer.

2. If you were to decide the case of Landmark Hacking, what will be you judgement? Support your answer(use jural and non-laws or ethical principles)


Answer:

1. Yes, i am in favor of the laws that regulates and controls the use of computer technology. Since they took care of our industry and promote the use of patent information as a tool for technology development then we know that it is for the better of our country. People should understand hy this laws are established because they are only promoting the country's improvement. So, we should not tolerate this kind of laws instead we should help promote honesty for the good of our country.

2. Actually, im still in doubt about this case (char!!!) because Garcia said that she did not commit the crime "unauthorized access" since the password to the Thames account was freely given to her by Mañalac. But recalling the ten commendments (click here->ten commandments) almost all the commandments was violated by Garcia especially the 3rd commandment that is "Thou Shalt Not Snoop Around In Other People’s Computer Files". So, if i were to decide then it would be that Garcia has committed a crime. Also, considering Mañalac, they both should be penalized by law.
