Yes i strongly agree with all the ten commandments of computer ethics,as`personal privacy needs to be considered. If all of these points were not lawful there would be more crimes taking place.
They did not cover the sending of junk mail/ spam to people without their acknowledgement
"Thou shall not send chain letters or junk mail to those who may not wish to receive them.” I believe that should be added as one of the commandments.
