Ethics in computer

Case Study 2: -

It is legal to copy songs from a CD, provided it was purchased legally. A principal at a local high school, however, has learned that students have been copying popular tracks from purchased music CDs to other CDs using the schools computer and selling the CDs for $1.00 each. As the dean of students, what action would you take against the students copying the CDs? What action would you take against the students buying the illegal copies? Write a brief report.

Well it is true that you can copy songs off a CD if and only if the CD was purchased legally.
First of all the students that have been copying the songs from the CD to other CD using the school computer and selling them the principal should stop them from accessing the school computers and the school could also block the web site for music downloads as well as giving each student a password and user name which will enable them to log onto the school computers. So by them having these two, the school can track what web sites they actually visit and if they cross the bounds of the school rules there privilege of using the school computers would be taken away from them. And of course the student’s parents should be told.
And to the people that are buying the illegal copped CDs, because you cannot actually be sure if they were aware if the CD’s they were buying was illegally burned, so there’s not much you can do to them. He could stop all students from selling and buying things on the school property. And also all the all the CD’s should be confiscated and the student’s parents should also be informed.
