Robert's brother Jerry helped him write a college term paper a few years ago. Now Jerry feels that he has the right to submit the same term paper for his college course. Since Jerry helped write Robert's report, he is part author and should be able to receive credit for it. A pastry chef working in a cupcake bakery learned new recipes from the café's head baker. When he opened his own cupcake shop across the street, he insisted on using the same recipes from his previous job. He was wrong to take recipes created by another baker and use them in his new business.
Understand the Problem
The question describes two scenarios involving authorship and the ethics of using someone else's work. It asks the user to reflect on the implications of these situations related to authorship and intellectual property.
Answer
Both situations are unethical.
The situation with Jerry submitting the term paper is unethical, and using another baker's recipes without permission is also unethical.
Answer for screen readers
The situation with Jerry submitting the term paper is unethical, and using another baker's recipes without permission is also unethical.
More Information
Jerry's desire to submit the same term paper is considered self-plagiarism unless properly credited. Similarly, using the head baker's recipes for personal benefit without permission is intellectual property infringement.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming co-authorship automatically grants rights for future use without proper acknowledgment.
