Abstract
Unethical information technology behavior is estimated to cost billions of dollars of losses for businesses and corporations. This includes issues associated with information technology property. As an example, software piracy is resulting in extremely large costs for IT (information technology) firms. This paper examines current views of information technology property as measured by a series of six current information technology related property ethical issues. The study surveys a cross-section of students, faculty, and professionals and analyzes recognition of an ethical issue for each individual topic. First, the study confirms that all the studied information technology property issues are generally recognized as important ethical topics. Age and gender are studied to determine demographic influences. Significant differences were found by age and gender for some but not all property issues. A discussion and implications of this research are also presented.
