Please don't make excuses for them. Honestly as someone getting her Bachelor's of Science in Business Information Technology I find their actions embarrassing
I am having to take this Ethics class for IT Majors, and from what I have been taught their ethics are questionable.
All they have to do is find the end date for the counter in the code. The worst coder on the planet could do it!
This really, Really, REALLY irks me.
