That was done from her dorm room. But it was not HER network connection but of the university which probably provided her with a free internet connection in her dorm room with certain restrictions and rules. It is unethical. She broke rules of a service which was provided free to her. Gerald

The TOS for their particular broadband provider allowed them to set up such a connection, so her parents were in the clear.

So if he saw that his children were up to something and he jumped into his car to speed back home, breaking speed limits, breaking street laws, you would consider that, too, his parental right to check on his children and thus ethical? If you helped him to get quickly through some radar checks your doing would be ethical to help him to exercise his parental right? Or if he knew that from time to time his children would stay at some friend's place and he wanted to excersice his parental rights there, too, and he would thus secretly install some bugs and hidden cameras there because the friend's parents would never agree to that would you consider this ethical as well because it is just a parental right to check on his children? And if you help him to do that you think you are ethical? If you agree to work somewhere or agree to use some network resources at a dorm room you agree to comply with some rules. You usually sign those rules. Otherwise you would not get the job or you would not get network access granted. Breaking those rules is unethical. You agreed to comply with them and now you break them. You are always free to work somewhere else at a place with different rules or use some other way to access the internet at your dorm. Now, if you help someone breaking those rules you are unethical. Gerald

You don't seem to understand, the students often sign or agree to having their communications monitored as part of the agreement for network service. -- Leythos - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free(a)rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address) |
