Copyright Considerations
Copyright is a legal right created by the law of a country that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights for its use and distribution. This is usually only for a limited time. The exclusive rights are not absolute but limited by limitations and exceptions to copyright law, including fair use.


 Ethical Issues

Ethical Issues 
Some Ethical issues that come to mind is that come to my mind is that there's some moral issues, like for example, deliberately setting up websites containing incorrect information – people may rely on and use this information thinking it is correct. And another ethical issue, like the use of information, for example, there is no guarantee that any information on the Internet is accurate or true.

Codes of Practice 
A code of practice is a set of professional standards or written guidelines agreed on by members of a particular profession or written guidelines issued by an official body or a professional association to its members to help them comply with its ethical standards.

Other (Breaches)
A personal data breach is a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed in connection with the provision of a public electronic communications service.

All of these remain in use today.  He also made the world’s first web browser and web server. You can still see pages from the first web server online.

Scenario B Pete is a backend web developer, working for a small creative agency. He is part of a team working collaboratively on projects. He is a single parent and works from home during school holidays. He is also a keen gamer. Dear Pete After reading your scenario, I recommend you use a high end laptop, because you will need a powerful processor, so that you can run and play videos game easily without running into having issues like it frizzing or experience extreme lag.
