In “How Can Technical Communicators Work in an Ethical and Legal Manner?” Scott reviews some of the ethical and legal concerns of a technical communicator. He speaks about the ethics involved in work relationships as well as some of the ethical and legal obligations associated with being a communicator such as intellectual property and a duty to instruct and warn. He also instructs in the proper conduct of ethical deliberation and questioning. An interesting concept I found in this article was the idea of intellectual property. As a technical communicator, it is part of the job to compile information for users; I am curious as to how one properly cites intellectual property without violating it. This applies to everyday life because if someone says something that hasn’t been heard of before, people typically share it with others because of its uniqueness. This draws the question, where is the line between a regular idea and intellectual property? I am also curious about the legal consequences of violating intellectual property.
