Abstract
The illegal copying of software (software piracy), illegal access and interception, misuse of devices, computer-related forgery, fraud, offences related to child pornography, offences related to infringements of copyright and related rights are all considered ethical issues on cyberspace. The paper presents some ethical aspects on information and communication technology usage. The results of a moral attitude investigation of 126 Romanian engineering students highlight the students' perception on and reasons for software piracy and intentionally information and communication technology misuse.
