Resolving Ethical Business Challenges Ahmed was an Arizona State University student and spent 20 hours each week working at the university library. He liked the library because it was quiet, and he could study some of the time. One interesting aspect of the library was the access to incredible databases, some of which were only for the professors. As a student worker, he was privy to all the database codes, and soon discovered large amounts of materials for almost every class on campus.

Bill, one of Ahmeds fellow library student workers, was constantly talking about doing weird stunts and antics to put on YouTube. One evening, when Ahmed started work, Bill was talking about the many ways to download pirated music, movies, and books from the librarys system.

It is very easy and untraceable. I just route my requests to a professors IP address then send it to several other faculty IP addresses, so it is difficult to trace. I then go to one of the library computers, log in as someone else, and upload it to the cloud. The peoples computers I route through get a message that someone logged into their account, but the IT guys just tell them its no big deal and it happens all the time. IT never really looks into it because of the many systems and IP addresses on campus. Do you want me to get you any music? Ahmed politely refused, knowing full well this could get a person expelled from the university.

Several months passed and Bill became more popular. Every day someone stopped by the library desk where he worked and talked to Bill before using one of the librarys computers and leaving. One day, Ahmed found an envelope with his name on it when he went to his usual desk. When he opened it, there was $500 with a note saying, Enjoy. He started to ask people about the money but then saw Bill smiling. At that moment, Ahmed knew the money was from Bill. He tried to give it back, but Bill refused to take it or admit he had given it to Ahmed in the first place.

Ahmed became increasingly uncomfortable with Bills behavior. He knew what Bill did was wrong and possibly illegal. He didnt want to be involved with it in any way, but he also didnt want to become a snitch. Now he was receiving money for his involvement. Ahmed felt the situation was escalating and he should say something to his supervisor before something really bad happened, but he didnt want to be the one to get Bill in trouble. Ahmed knew Bill could be expelled for something like this, which could potentially damage his entire future. Then again, Ahmed had his own future to worry about. Could he be expelled just for knowing what kind of activities Bill was involved in? What should he do with the money Bill gave him? What might happen if he doesnt blow the whistle?
