Where to now?
Authored by: stegu on Sunday, June 02 2013 @ 05:39 PM EDT
Even in a civilized society, there is still one type of "person" that
can be executed in public to set an example, and that is a corporate entity. If
enough unethical companies are taken to court and sentenced to corporate death
(i.e. barred from continuing the activity on which they have based their
livelihood), and the case is enough reported on to make their demise widely
known, it is at least somewhat likely that companies and actual people alike
will get the message a little bit faster.

I'm not expecting this to happen, I'm just saying that public executions (of a
sort) are not entirely out of the picture even in this day and age.

Ethics and integrity...

...unfortunately in today's world, these don't seem to be something taught or
even desired.

I have only read the report and email snippets in the ars technica article, so I
don't have the full picture (ie, his side of things), but it doesn't look good
for him. It would appear he didn't see that he did anything wrong at all.

No matter how against Apple's tactics one is, what the lawyer did was just
wrong.

The ethics one learns in grade school is "Might makes right". So,
yes, many people do learn their ethics in grade school. Most, however, learn
wider horizons and concerns.
