The culmination of my 6 part series: I propose an 11-point proposed code of ethics for freelance independent professional musicians.

Beets, S. Douglas. “Personal Morals and Professional Ethics.” Business and Professional Ethics Journal, vol. 10, no. 2, 1991, pp. 63–84., doi:10.5840/bpej199110211.
The page 63 quote to which I referred to goes as follows: “In complying with a professional ethics code, some practitioners may be constrained by the ethics rules, which prevent certain acts that might be performed if the code did not exist. Other practitioners may comply with conduct rules by following their personal moral standards which may be more restrictive than the professional code or may coincide with the occupational norms. Such an association between personal morals and professional ethics may be attributable to many explanatory criteria, such as practitioners' beliefs that the rules benefit the profession and society, or the eventual absorption of the code into individuals' personal morals through long-term compliance and familiarity.”
