Case Study 9.1
Click here to enter text.
Copyright violation is the utilization or creation of another person’s material without their
permission or reference of the original authorization. Copyright violation indicates that the rights
granted to the owner including the exclusive utilization of the work and content for a certain
period are infringed by a third party. From the scenario and definition above, there are several
copyright issues. First, Huong's program contains content and material from the school therefore,
not her original work. To claim copyright rights, the person needs to own the original content and
acknowledge any referenced material and people in the work. Huong's case has a lot of legal
copyright issues that will lead to a court case if the university finds out. In this case, Huong fails
to acknowledge that the work is from the school, and she further charges, which is unethical.
Secondly, while she may claim the notes and the program, the lecture notes are not her
original piece. The act is a form of moral rights infringement on the university as she fails to
acknowledge the authority of her materials. It is morally wrong for Huong to take the works of
her lecturers and publish them as her own. Lastly, Huong violates economic rights. Even
though the work is not originally hers and does not have a license, Huong decides to sell the
works at a fee not shared with the copyright holders, who in this case, include her school and
lecturer.
Case Study 9.3
First, if the vendor had permission to sell the software, then Theo has the option to
purchase the software through a third party for 50% off without violating his rights. This is
similar to other students purchasing or renting software or books from Chegg, Abe, or even

Amazon. It is a copyright violation if Theo is downloading Lana’s software with her diskette and
serial number. As a result, sharing software is usually forbidden since the license is usually not
the owner and is the only one who is permitted to use it.
Case Study 9.5
Legally, the Dawson Publishing company holds the right to publish and sell materials from
their content. Although Dr. Mondello edited the original work, she signed a property transfer
agreement giving the company all the legal rights to the copyright. Despite selling her content
the publishing company paid Dr. Mondello for her work. He cannot claim the content afterward
and has no claim over what happens to the content after the agreement. Dr. Cook has all the legal
rights to assign whoever he wants to edit the second edition since she has a signed legal
partnership with the publishing company. Although her work was used in the second edition and
not referenced to her Dr. Mondello has no legal authority to claim the copyright or the content
because of the binding document and the payment she received for her exemplary work.
Legally, Dr. Cook and the publishing company have the right to claim the copyright and do
to the content whatever modification and editing they so wish. However, the situation is not
ethically and morally abiding. Although Dr. Mondello had signed her copyright rights away,
Dr. Cook was wrong to feel jealous of the exceptional work and find another person to write the
chapters in the second edition. The sole purpose of the authorization is to ensure top-notch work
and high sales of their work, which Dr. Mondello passed so well. Therefore, I would advise
Dr. Mondello to forgo the legal lawsuit and address the ethical principles of Dr. Cook’s actions in
their professional field.

Case study 9.6
As Dr. Hefner subscribes to a scientific journal and provides access to her research group,
I believe she is protected by a site license. As outlined in the text, the license is common among
educational and business institutions that authorize multiple uses 1. When this type of license is
issued, the institution holds the license, and the users may only access the site under the license
held by the institution. According to the copyright, Dr. Hefner, she cannot share her login
credentials with her research group without violating the copyright.
Case Study 9.8
Although Dr. Gopal drafted and published the course syllabus, he has no legal rights to
copy and delete the content from the university website after getting dismissed from work.
Looking at it, he used the university resources, and the content created was during his
employment time at the university hence should have left the work at the university.
However, looking at it the other way, there was no legally binding documentation asking
Dr. Gopal to transfer the copyright rights of all his works to the university in case copyright
issues arose. Therefore, the school cannot legally ask or sue Dr. Gopal for copyright, although he
used all the university resources to create the content. Dr. Gopal has not economized the content
for the university to claim the right of resources over the data. Because the situation has a weak
legal standing with both parties using circumstances to present their cases, looking at the
situation from an ethical perspective would help matters.
Ethically, Dr. Gopal was wrong to remove the course syllabus from the school's database
and deny the replacing professor and students the benefits of the contents. Although he was not

required to by any signed legal document, Dr. Gopal must play as a professor to his
students to render help no matter the institution in which he is employed.
Therefore, by denying
the students the
syllabus benefits, Dr. Gopal was ethically wrong and selfish. Additionally, Dr.
Gopal's actions were
driven by anger and bitterness because the university decided to cut him
loose to fix their budget. Making decisions in anger and bitterness crowded Dr. Gopal's
judgment, making him disregard his duties to serve the students and focus the attention on
his
interests,
hence removing the course content from the school's server. To remedy the
situation, Dr. Gopal could have copied the contents of the syllabus and left a copy
on the school's
server, showing interest in the student's well-being and intellectual needs.
Wrongful Convictions
As I read the Charles Bernstein case, I believe it holds some weight in favor of abolishing
the death penalty. The article, cited” Should we Restore the Death Penalty?” Regardless of if
someone has concrete evidence to convict them of a crime, I do not believe the justice system
should be able to decide who dies and who simply lives because they do not always get the facts
straight to ensure they are not putting an innocent person behind bars for a length of time. As
children of God, I can understand being falsely accused since Matthew 5:11-12 says, “Blessed
are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you
because of Me. In the same way, they persecute the prophets who came before you, you will
receive a great reward in heaven. Because of the possibility of being falsely accused, the death
penalty needs to be abolished.

Question 1
Body freezing is fast becoming popular in the technological world, and with the rising
number of unknown and deadly diseases that have no cure. Cryopreservation is a favorite of the
future community. The general premise is simple: medicines keep getting better. If you die today,
you may be healed tomorrow (Whaley et al., 2021). While freezing people as they await future
medical discoveries is appealing, I would not support the science. Biblically, only God is
allowed to give and take lives. However, science targets to freeze a person from living for a
considerable amount of time until science can cure them; that action interferes with natural
occurrences. Cryonics is a way to bridge the gap between today's medicines and tomorrow's
medicines.
The most important is that there is no evidence or guarantee that it is reversible. Moreover,
science is not guaranteed that the person will get a cure at discovering medicine. Additionally,
the freezing does not stop the person from dying someday, putting the loved ones in continuous
agony and sadness. Scientists say it's a pure science fiction novel that wakes up hundreds or
thousands of years later to lead a healthy and happy life. For example, for diseases like cancer
and HIV/AIDS, which have no sure medication, it would be unfair to put family members in
agony for years while they await medication. Therefore, it is better to let a soul rest and not
postpone the grief which is bound to happen someday.

Having a face transplant is controversial, especially between religious beliefs and
scientific research. The bible and the other religious doctrines believe that everyone was

created in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, I would not consider a face transplant from
a religious perspective. Patients and physicians are required to tackle various (sometimes
permanent) challenges, including Addressing immunosuppression and psychosocial hurdles
(Tasigiorgos et al., 2018). Without any other underlying conditions like accidents considering a
face, a transplant is more like being unappreciative of God's work. Some unforeseen
circumstances can push one to opt for a face transplant. For example, if one gets burned and
there is a scientific way to restructure and ensure the person gets and leads an everyday life, then
a face transplant is better.
