Kai K. Kimppa, Andrew Bissett, The Ethical Significance of Cheating in Online Computer Games. International Review of Information Ethics 4, 31-38, 2005.

Abstract:

In this article cheating in network and specifically online computer games is looked into as a moral offence. Reasons for the public ignoring the issue are brought forth. We present what could be considered as cheating in generic terms and in context. Different kinds of cheating are delineated, and remedies proposed. We also identify what is not cheating.
