Legal and Ethical
Issues Associated with
Modern Technologies
Raul M. Bongulto
AET/531
February 5, 2014
Introduction
▪ When implementing technology in the learning
environment, training organizations need to
consider legal and ethical issues with regard to:
o Copyright
o Fair use
o Privacy Policies
o Intellectual Property Rights
COPYRIGHT
▪ A form of protection provided by the laws of the United
States (title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors of “original
works of authorship”, including literary, dramatic,
musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works

▪ It is illegal for anyone to violate any of the rights
provided by the copyright law to the owner of
copyright
▪ These rights, however, are not unlimited in scope
LEGAL/ETHICAL ISSUES WITH COPYRIGHT
▪ Copyright Infringement - important potential issue in training
environments
• Instructors and Students: may inadvertently practice unauthorized
duplication/distribution of training material
• Students: illegal sharing of files; pirating of tests

 Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) – U.S. copyright law that
implements 2 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization
(WIPO)
• criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services
intended to circumvent measures (commonly known as digital rights management
or DRM) that control access to copyrighted works
• also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is
actual infringement of copyright itself
• heightens the penalties for copyright infringement on the Internet
FAIR USE
▪ Major limitation given a statutory basis in section 107 of the 1976 Copyright
Act.
▪ Lists the purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be
considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching,
scholarship, and research
▪ Factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is
fair:
- The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of
commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
- The nature of the copyrighted work
- The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the
copyrighted work as a whole
- The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the
copyrighted work
LEGAL/ETHICAL ISSUES - FAIR USE
▪ The distinction between what is fair use and what is
infringement in a particular case will not always be
clear or easily defined.
▪ In a nutshell, it is considered fair use to use portions
of authored works in teaching, research,
commentary or news reporting.
PRIVACY POLICY
▪ A statement or legal document that discloses some
or all of the ways a party collects, utilizes, discloses
and manages a customer or clients’ data.
- It ensures confidentiality
- It enhances security
- It builds trust and reputation
LEGAL/ETHICAL ISSUES – PRIVACY
POLICY
▪ In an educational setting, particular attention
should be given to computers provided to/used by
students due to the potential for hacking
(students/trainers), cyberbullying, and the
advertent/inadvertent introduction of malware or
scams.
▪ Adequate training is required to avoid these
problems.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
▪ Refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions;
literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols,
names and images used in commerce.
▪ Protected in law by patents, copyrights and
trademarks, which enables people to earn
recognition or financial benefit from what they
invent or create.
LEGAL/ETHICAL ISSUES – INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY
▪ Education/training departments should make
explicitly clear (preferably in writing) what
intellectual property is “theirs”
▪ If hiring an outside entity to implement computerbased curriculum, intellectual property rights must
be clearly identified/established to avoid conflict
CONCLUSION
▪ Bottom line – education is the key to inform
personnel – staff and students alike – on how to
avoid issues regarding copyrights, fair use, privacy
policies and intellectual property.
