Week 16-17: Computer Ethics

Computer misuse act 1988. This is the act that basically ruined all the fun people could have with computers, it stopped everyone from jsut doing what they wanted. The act, to cut a long story short, says you can't hack other peoples computers, and you cant use your knowledge of technology for 'evil'. Personally i was looking forward to creating skynet, but apparently i've been told i can't so i won't, i'm sure that's the mind set of every criminal right? 'The Government said that's bad so i won't do it', if the government really thinks that the act made any difference whatsoever then they are even more nieve than i thought.
