Abstract: This study examines student attitudes toward software piracy and questionable computer use acceptability. The study included computer use scenarios describing situations with ethical considerations and questions that examined the role of the individuals in the scenarios. Results from the current population of students were compared with the results from prior data collection. While the findings indicated only minor differences from the previous study, the true value of this research is in the provision of a set of scenarios and other perspectives that can be used in in-class discussions of ethics, policy and law.
