An outcome from an initiative by the Royal Society of Arts is The Adelphi Charter which "sets out new principles for copyrights and patents, and calls on governments to apply a new public interest test." If you wanted some material for advanced discussion about ethical use of information and intellectual property dimensions, this could be an interesting focus for discussion. The site includes background material that informed the people who wrote the Charter, including some useful summaries and links. Thanks to Michel Menou for highlighting this site on another discussion list I belong to.http://www.adelphicharter.org/default.asp
