> Digital Media Ethics, by Charles Ess

> This is the first textbook on the central ethical issues of digital
> media, ranging from computers and the Internet to mobile phones. It is
> also the first book of its kind to consider these issues from a global
> perspective, introducing ethical theories from multiple cultures. It
> further utilizes examples from around the world, such as the publication
> of "the Mohammed Cartoons"; diverse understandings of what "privacy"
> means in Facebook or MySpace; why pirating CDs and DVDs may be justified
> in developing countries; and culturally-variable perspectives on =
> sexuality and what counts as "pornography." Readers and students thus =
> acquire a global perspective on the central ethical issues of digital =
> media, including privacy, copyright, pornography and violence, and the =
> ethics of cross-cultural communication online.=20
> The book is designed for use across disciplines - media and =
> communication studies, computer science and informatics, as well as =
> philosophy. It is up-to-date, accessible and student- and =
> classroom-friendly: each topic and theory is interwoven throughout the =
> volume with detailed sets of questions that foster careful reflection, =
> writing, and discussion into these issues and their possible =
> resolutions. Each chapter further includes additional resources and =
> suggestions for further research and writing.=20
