Ethics in an Information Age Discussion Project on Software Warranties

Examine the “12 Principles for Fair Commerce in Software and Other Digital Product” from the group ‘Americans for Fair Electronic Commerce Transactions.’

If any of the principles seem flawed (too strong, too weak, too vague, …), explain why you think the principle is flawed.

If you think the principles are good, explain how you would respond to the complaints that are likely to come from the software industry: that observance of these principles will cost too much, will stifle innovation, and make it too hard for software sellers to enforce their intellectual property rights, and so on.
