| Popis: | This article addresses ethical and legal issues arising from the increasing use of e-mail and other forms of instant written communication in the conduct of business. E-mail communications are often casual and informal. Yet e-mail is a written record that can be more permanent and widely accessible than a paper communication. This article focuses on the implications of this fact, including (1) how individuals compromise their own privacy by the voluntary use of e-mail; (2) how e-mail has complicated the duty of confidentiality of employees to employers, and professionals to clients; (3) whether the use of e-mail affects ethical deliberation and choice; and (4) the use of e-mail as evidence of corporate conduct and intent in civil and criminal litigation. The article suggests that e-mail users think “forensically” about their e-mail—i.e., consider its potential as evidence in the context of other emails and underlying events—before pressing the “send” button. |
