Network is a kind of technology, a kind of culture too. It has concentrated the supreme achievement of development in science and technology of the human computer, and it is pregnant with and expedites the emergence of a lot of new values and ethics spirit, and pairs of range and from entity physics to one fictitious world great extension and expansion of digitization world depth of human survival, thus join the world into an unprecedented " global village " structure. With the arrival of digital era, it means that people obtain information more and more swiftly and conveniently. Network has brought a brand-new annotation explanatory note to human life. But it has opened " Pandora's magic box " in creation of network, and it is a kind of technology, no longer simple, which has already been mixed up a lot of humanized factors during the process of employing, and it has encouraged or excited the ingrained bad habit in the human nature or dark side because of the characteristic of its technology. Then network derives a series of ethics problems such as some information rubbish, network hacker, network destroying, infringing right of privacy, and infringing intellectual property etc.. The infringement of the right of privacy and intellectual property comes out conspicuously in those ethics problems.

If it has already been used, how could the party protect the control privilege to the kind of information?
