Users may suffer greatly if a piece of software malfunctions. Is it ethical for companies to provide software that they are aware of flaws that might cause it to fail? Should they be held liable for the financial losses their consumers incur if their scheme fails? As with other consumer goods, should software providers be required to provide warranties?
It is the job of a professional software developer to create any type of professional software. It is against the law to utilize someone else's code without properly crediting the original author. Because of this, what kind of violations will take place. What safeguards are in place to protect the intellectual property rights of that software developer?

- Most software, including operating systems, is not error free when it is first released. Some programs, in fact, contain thousands of problems, called bugs. Software companies regularly release fixes (called patches) to correct known issues with released software. Many hackers and other criminals target these bugs with computer viruses or other attacks, frequently on the day a new vulnerability is announced—called a zero-day attack. Obviously, the acts by these criminals are not ethical, but what responsibility does a software company have to consumers if they are put at risk due to the company’s carelessness or rush to market? What responsibility do consumers have to make sure they keep their computers patched against new vulnerabilities?arrow_forwardWhat are the repercussions, in terms of how things really work, of a software bug?arrow_forwardIs it feasible to eliminate flaws via clever software design?
