What a fellow of mine from Media Management course told about at the last class really raised a crucial question for me: Have I been unethical whole my life? Am I not a good person?
The example the fellow gave yesterday still in my mind and hurts.
He told about the importance of copyrighting issues, adding that he has two kids of 15 and 16 years-old and he usually tries to make sure that the music records they have on their iPod’s are licensed and copyrighted. “I always remind them that using any intellectual property without paying is still stealing and bad behavior”.
… In the countries like mine copyrighting is not on the table neither as an low, nor as an ethical issue. People having to deal a plenty of problems do not even have time for this kind of problems.
… I don’t even remember if I have ever paid for any single computer program. People in my country like me even do not have an imagination that it is possible to pay for computer programs. Many of them, including me, us pirate version.
…The example a fellow of mine gave in the class made me wake up and to think seriously about it: Was I stealing all the time. Do I still steal other peoples’ intellectual property? Do I do it because nobody watches me out and nobody blames me? The worst thing is that the answer for all the questions listed above is YES!

While you cannot undo what is done, now that you know better you might consider doing better.
