Problem 1: Suppose you are invited to "sound off" on a nonmarket corporate legal issue or an issue stemming from Internet use. There are also many issues that encompass the law and the Internet that could be discussed. For example, consider the circumstances that permit an easy, virtually unregulated way for devious people to sell unapproved drugs to individuals or to illegally sell approved drugs via the Internet. Another possible nonmarket issues topic could be the "hot button" issue of government and Internet taxes. Neither of these issues is going away soon. Please feel free to raise your own "hot button" issue concerning a nonmarket a corporate legal or Internet issue.
Problem 2: It is likely that the Founding Fathers had no idea that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights would someday include a right to privacy which would be interpreted to include freedoms related to cyber law and electronic contracts. Today, there is an explosion of issues surrounding individual and commercial free speech and Internet privacy. What types of nonmarket business issues are influenced by Internet free speech and privacy issues?
Problem 3: Are there any situations in business that are legal but unethical? Can you think of any situations that are ethical but illegal? Provide workplace examples to support your argument.
