Answers

1. Respecting Ownership
We must respect ownership by not stealing other peoples work either by duplicating or distributing it. Duplicating and distributing copies of audio tapes, video tapes and computer programs without permission and authorization from the individual or company that created the program are immoral and illegal.
2. Respecting privacy and confidentiality
We should respect other peoples privacy and confidentiality by refraining ourselves from reading their mails or files without their permission. If we do so, it is considered as violating an individuals right to privacy and confidentiality
3. Respecting property
Property here means ownership. Since an individual data and information are considered as property, therefore, an act of tampering and changing electronic information is considered as vandalism and disrespect for other peoples property.
