Book excerpt: Severson begins with an introductory chapter in which he presents his model of principled ethics, followed by four chapters on each one of these guiding principles: respect for intellectual property; the principle of fair representation; privacy; and the principle of nonmalfeasance. The book is written in an accessible manner, avoiding the technical jargon of ethics, and making a simple, straightforward case for the supportive value of ethical principles in the sometimes confusing moral world of the information age.
