For me, the John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism predominates in the world of computing today.
o Although pornography can be considered immoral, many still patronizes it because of the pleasures they get from it; considering also the sum of money they get from it.
o It boost the self-esteem of hackers if he can get on the computer systems of other people, it is the same happiness a doctor feels when he was able to save his patient from a disease or death.
o Why do spend for expensive software when you can have them at lower cost?
o Most of the time, freedom from pain, freedom from hardships, fame are what makes people happy that is why people tend to go the easier way of making them happy.
