You designed and implemented a code of ethics and code of conduct for your business a year ago but haven’t seen an improvement in ethical behavior among your employees. What might be the problem?
What will be an ideal response?
There could be a number of reasons for a code of ethics or conduct failing to have
an effect in the workplace. The most obvious is communication. If there has not been a careful strategy implemented to make employees aware of--and understand--the code, then management can’t expect them to incorporate it into their working lives. Just making the code available isn’t enough; management could discuss it in training workshops, announcements, link knowledge of it to promotions and awards, and many other actions.

In Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios v. Grokster, Ltd., Grokster claimed a fair use exception to the copyright infringement claim because its process was such that it was impossible for Grokster to know if the users of its device were infringing or not. Which of the following was the outcome?
A. The device provided by Grokster to its customers was capable of substantial noninfringing uses, so the fair use exception articulated in the Sony case was met. B. Grokster was allowed to use the fair use exception because all of the music its device was designed to copy was already in the public domain and therefore not protected. C. Grokster was denied the fair use exception because the majority of its business model was dedicated to appealing to former Napster customers and the model showed intent to infringe on copyrights. D. The Supreme Court agreed that since Grokster could not have known whether infringement was occurring, Grokster could not be held liable directly, indirectly, or vicariously.
