Archival and hacker ethics

Summary/Abstract: Archival and hacker ethics are a substantial opposition, a term that has various archival sources and hacker activity. The first activity we saw as the theoretical and applied profession, and the other in terms of enthusiastic cheerful game theory and the arts. Archival activity implies rootedness in the form of duty to the moral law, as well as the values that are a priori, universal and necessary validity and which is based on experience. While the Code of Ethics for Archivists provides ten principles, it seems that he’s talking about five ethical values, which are: the integrity of archives, access to archival material and the protection of privacy, archival collective identity, a method of preserving the authenticity of the document and avoid abuse when working with archive. The hacker activity has its roots in the life instinct and impulse of passion, and as such is by nature an individualistic and egoistic moral character. Therefore, the hacker passion thoughtless and inconsiderate of the established values, and thus creates a new breaking old. However, its strength and justification just lie in creativity and innovation. On the other hand, the hacker ethic paradoxically sets both individual and general social moral values: passion, free flow of work and passion, dealing with social values, open-work results, an activity that involves dealing with the passions and the protection of individual spheres of life, then social responsibility and creativity. Another paradox hacker ethic is reflected in the fact that it seeks to liberate information, understood as the life of the network, not the individual.
