Computing Ethics Lab

1. Introduce the notion of ``reproducibility'' and how it has changed our view of ``property.'' Would you want a stranger ``hanging around'' your house if they caused no harm?

   What is property these days?

2. Anonymity, online personas, and identity verification.

3. Working in groups of four or five, discuss as many of the case studies as time permits.
