I’ve started taking a class called IT Ethics which has a paper due at the end of summer.  I was thinking on covering the issue of Sierra Games and VU.  Questions are easy but the opionions might vary greatly.  Is downloading an old sierra game that VU no longer offers or supports unethical?  Is the cracking of an old sierra game to fix a bug or timing issue unethical?  Is providing a copy of one disk out of a series of disk to someone who says theirs is currupt unethical?  There are many more questions but these are the common things I see happening on most Sierra message boards.  Is it unethical for VU to hold a license to games that they will not release or support?  Considering all of the Stakeholders in this issue what are your thoughts…
