With the outbreak of the "3Q war", we understand that ethics has beeninvolved in the field of network. The network ethics is a network caused by theaction of moral discipline of the phenomenon for the study, and belongs to thefield of applied ethics. The application network ethics, openness, virtual,interactive features on the one hand laid the foundation for the development ofnetwork ethics in the Internet age, on the other hand, is exposed as ethical rulesmade with the dilemma of traditional ethics in a networked environment can notadapt. Development of traditional ethical values of good and evil in people’sdaily exchange to the network environment affect people’s daily habits, thisreaction has demonstrated to the network ethics should have to share first,agreed that the system of self-discipline self-respect and the principle of humanecare. And this principle system will in the long process of developmentconstantly enrich the connotation of its own. However, relying solely on Internetethics "soft" norms can not solve the problems of the network environment,must be added in the network activities the network ethics laws to the "hard"norms to protect the interests of the users of the network will not be violated. The events of recent years, network infringement has exposed the lack ofproblems caused by the legal norms of the network ethics. Such as onlineprivacy protection, network right of reputation protection, and networkcopyright issues. This shows that network activity can not be separated from theescort. At the same time, network ethical significance that relates to the legalculture of awareness of the law, legal practice, legal education and legal system.Even now, the online world has formed a network terminal service providers andnetwork users both groups, the complexity of the relationship between theinterests they reflect the network is no longer pure virtual tools, and it isbecoming a virtual extension of our real world. Network, there are ethical issuescome out of the way to resolve the law, and this is the performance of the legalculture.With the accelerated process of China’s information technology, networktechnology development, driven by rapid economic development network. Atthe same time, the disputes arising because the network is increasing. Internetcopyright dispute, the Internet domain name dispute, and even the past two yearsthe "3Q" war from another angle reflects the lack of moral and legal defects in the economic development of our network. Network of legal norms compared tothe United States, Japan, Britain and other developed countries, China’s networklegislative late start, the specification also can not meet the developmentrequirements of today’s social networks in China. Of course, with the constantsound of the legal environment in China in recent years, in particular thelegislative progress, making the network laws and regulations in China havemade great progress. January14,2011, China’s Ministry of Industry andInformation Technology Telecommunications Authority issued the "Internetinformation service market order Interim Measures for the Supervision andAdministration (draft)". August1,2011, the Internet Society of China releasedthe "Internet terminal software services industry self-discipline convention.Industry Association Convention, whether from our department regulationsreflect the importance of the ethical requirements of the development of theInternet age laws and treaties. The same time, better reflect how these legaltreaties network ethics of public recognition and enforceability is particularlyimportant, and will provide better support network for future legislative, judicialactivities. This also makes the topics with a strong practical significance. We draw our network ethical formation is accompanied by the inevitabletrend of development of network technology. In this process, the status quo toreflect on the ethics of our network, explore the absence of awareness of the law,as well as our existing network ethics education, and ultimately learn thecharacteristics of the legal regulation of foreign networks, come to our networkethics as a moral constraints, will be the key to the future development of theInternet and will affect the gradual formation of the corresponding network oflegal norms. Of industrialization and information technology combineddevelopment, the early formation of ethical development model with Chinesecharacteristics of the network, and will become China’s current mission-criticalnetwork-based ethics series of laws and regulations, industry guidelines.
