2COPYRIGHTS, ETHICS AND PRIVACY
Introduction
Any profession demands maintaining of proper working conduct from both the
perspectives of an individual employee as well as the organization. It depends on the legislative
and ethical measures adopted by the country the organization is established in. The organizations
are obligated to follow these laws otherwise they might be considered as unlawful and any kind
of legislative steps can be taken against them (Bennett and Raab 2017). Thus, the following
report would be based on the personal perspective of an individual on how an organization
established in Australia and working under Information and Communication Technology
environment maintains all the professional and ethical conducts. This would be justified in the
report in four parts. The first part would relate an organization’s intellectual property and
copyright properties with that of the standard codes of conducts. The next part would include the
understanding of the Privacy Laws in an organization according to the ACS privacy and integrity
protection laws. The third part would have the ethical codes of conducts and finally the fourth
and last part would present an understanding of the entire research with the help of a meeting
held between two people that summarize the understanding of the entire research done so far.
Part A: Intellectual property and copyright
An introduction to the Copyright Laws in Australia
According to the Intellectual Property Rights as mentioned in the Australian Laws, it can
be stated that all the Divisions according to the Copyright Act 1968 clearly points out the fact
that all in an ICT environment, the creators are subjected to produce original works in their scope
of specialization. In addition to this, any work that does not acknowledge the original creator
while referring to their creations can be penalized in every possible way according to the legal
proceedings of Australia (Bennett and Raab 2017). Thus, it is understandable that every work
must be original, and when it refers to the original works of a creator, he or she should be given
proper acknowledgement for the task. This includes artistic works presented offline or online,
subject matters and creations like poems, paintings and others.
How to implement Copyright Law for Australia should be enrolled in the organization
Since, the company in discussion is an ICT based organization; all the laws presented in
the Australian Copyright Law should be applicable in the organization. This is to specify that the
integrity of the original creators should be maintained. Thus, within the organization, it should be
specified that the use of any original idea to create any work should be properly acknowledged
and it should be applicable to all the hierarchy levels of the organization (Suominen et al. 2016).
These should be included in the business policy and that should be spread within the entire
organization (Warren and Lucas 2016). Any person who does not follow the same should be
penalized harshly and if the continuation of the same occurs again, the employee would be
terminated. The entire workforce in the organization should be specifically made aware of the
company policies prepared on the basis of the Australian Copyright Law.
