Concerns about publishing on the World Wide Web

Intellectual Property -- an oxymoron?

1. Copyright  (academic dishonesty vs. felony)
2. Trademark U.S. Code: Title 15 Chapter 22  and the basics
3. Patent (see General Information concerning patents from USPTO)
4. Trade Secret

Privacy -- an illusion?

1. institutional data (grades, course offerings, syllabi, etc.)
2. personal data (e-mail addresses, phone-numbers, voice-prints, etc.)
3. licensed data (encyclopedias, software, etc.)
4. recognizable pictures of private people

Security -- sacking the hacker?

1. Institutional rules -- Bay Path's Computing Ethics and   rules for the world wide web
2. Extra-institutional behavior (eavesdropping, data sales, tampering, predatory behavior, password guessing, etc.)

Presenting an institution -- electronic dress codes?

1. Guidelines for the web at Bay Path
2. Other style guides (list from NCSA; a particular one of many)
