Abstract
High-speed Internet provides unprecedented opportunities in the information domain. The wealth of information in the web-based knowledge banks brings about innumerable business prospects. This relentless rush for knowledge lowers the information ethics. The rewards had brought a stream of successful dot-com corporations in the 1990s. The dangers have also brought bankruptcy for most of these corporations. The plunderers are the knowledgeable and skilled few and the victims are the ignorant who are not able to see through the games that Internet exploiters can play. The boom and bust of the dot-com opportunists is grim reminder of how knowledge cycle has taken the ignorant few to the depth of despair. In this paper, we suggest that intelligent knowledge processing software should curtail the abuse of the IP networks, much as the network security programs that block the spread of spam and viruses.
