Class Notes:

Jesse and Geoff are taking a course like this, only it is on-campus with lectures and at a university in a large metropolitan area. Both know that in the middle of the semester, they will have to be gone for two weeks (one for vacation, one for work). They will need help from someone in the class during that time, at least to get copies of lecture notes. Geoff may also need someone to help explain the material to him.

At the end of the first day of class, as students are introducing themselves before the final bell, one student mentions she needs a ride home that night and another student immediately volunteers to drive her. When it is his turn, Jesse announces to the class of 50 students that he needs to borrow notes for material that he will have to miss when he has to be gone two weeks in the middle of the semester for a job commitment he cannot reschedule. There is an awkward silence. Then, people continue introducing themselves in hopes of finishing before the end of class. Jesse didn’t explicitly ask for an answer then, but he and many others felt it was very awkward.

Geoff also had to miss some days of class. However, he waited to ask for help until a few weeks into the semester. He was talking alone during a class break to Mark, a friend he had made. They often talked and sat near one another, they both were from the same high school, and they were both business majors. Just the week before, the teacher had asked Mark a tough question in class, and Mark clearly got embarrassed because he didn't know the answer. Geoff spoke up, answering the question and diverting attention to himself. Tonight, as they chatted during break, Geoff told Mark that was going on vacation the next two weeks up until just before the big test. He then asked if he could borrow Mark's class notes when he returned. He also said that he doesn’t understand the material well and asked Mark if he could go over the notes with him when he returned. Mark reluctantly said, "Sure, I'll help."

Case 1 Theft of a Title for an Ethics Text

Seven years ago, Victor published what has become a popular ethics textbook called Ethics with Applications. The book is now in its third edition. Looking through flyers for new ethics texts, he sees one with exactly the same title as his. Dismayed, he immediately contacts his editor, who tells him that titles, unfortunately, cannot be copyrighted but are fair game for anyone who wants to use them. Victor angrily writes both the publisher and the authors of the other text, complaining that they have stolen his title. They never answer him, and he remains extremely upset. He would never knowingly steal someone’s title and can’t understand their action. Even though what they did is legal, are they morally obligated not to use Victor’s title? Why, or why not? Should they at least apologize for doing so? Is there anything else they could do to make things right, or do they need to? Why, or why not? If titles cannot be copyrighted, then can this be considered stealing? Why, or why not? Is this an important or trivial issue, to your way of thinking? Why, or why not?
