If you sell information about **identifiable** individuals or households without their permission, I would regard that as unethical. In countries with very strict privacy laws, like Germany, it would probably also be illegal. Joncey
Price discrimination is a strategy wherein identical goods or services are sold at different prices to different customers. It can occur when the seller is aware of the maximum amount customers are willing to pay for a product, when the price fluctuates based upon supply and demand, or when a price is altered based upon location, customer segment, or individual customer identity. In some situations, or parts of the world, depending upon the type of price discrimination, the practice may be considered unethical or even illegal.
It depends on what you mean. If you mean is it illegal to design a shirt then put a major brand label's logo on your shirt, for instance, the Coca-Cola brand logo, yes, that is illegal. Almost all, if not all, major brand labels are copyrighted and it is illegal to use them without permission. If you mean can you make a shirt and call it a brand name that is the same a brand that already exists, for instance, American Eagle, that is illegal for the same reason.
Sales managers have important ethical responsibilities, both concerning their own ethics and concerning the ethics of their sales personnel. Sales managers can often be faced with ethical dilemmas in terms of hiring, setting a sales quota, and in evaluating and enforcing ethical standards they expect upheld by their salespeople. These ethical dilemmas are often more pressurized than those encountered by individuals in other professions. Sales managers tend to be unsupervised, they hold primary responsibility for the firm's revenue, they must be unique problem-solvers, and are often evaluated based on achievement of short-term objectives. Ethical dilemmas do not excuse illegal behavior. Lying to a customer on a phone call is unethical, but things like embezzlement are both unethical and illegal. The law, however, cannot possibly regulate all aspects of life - and few people expect it to. People, then, understand that this calls for a personal code of ethics when the law cannot govern. When carrying out their jobs, sales managers must be ethical in their actions toward consumers as well as their sales personnel, and they must also do everything in accordance with federal and state law.

Unethical and illegal.
An unethical act refers to behavior that goes against moral principles or values, while an illegal act is a violation of laws established by the government. Not all unethical behaviors are necessarily illegal, and not all illegal acts are necessarily considered unethical.
Ethics in business and law both revolve around principles of fairness, honesty, and moral integrity. In business, ethical conduct governs relationships with customers, employees, and other stakeholders, while in law, ethical standards guide the behavior of legal professionals in upholding justice and the rule of law. Both fields emphasize the importance of integrity, transparency, and accountability to maintain trust and credibility.
It is not only unethical. It is illegal.
Just because something is unethical does not mean it is also illegal. Being unethical is just bad judgment and does not create a legal issue in most cases.
Not necessary.
It is not only unethical, it is also illegal.
unethical is more an immoral issue than an illegal issue
Not necessarily. While unethical behavior may violate moral principles or standards, it may not always be explicitly prohibited by law. However, many illegal acts are also considered unethical.
Illegal no. Unethical YES!
While it may not be illegal for a journalist to use unethical methods per se, sometimes using unethical methods end up leading journalists to break the law without them knowing it sometimes but if and when they are investigated for using unethical methods it is found out that they broke the law in the process, they can be held liable for whatever happened for using the unethical methods. But, just because it is unethical sometimes, it is not necessarily illegal.
