Document Summary
Governments of the industrial world, you weary giants of flesh and steel, i come from cyberspace, the new home of mind. On behalf of the future, i ask you of the past to leave us alone. How cyberspace is, is not how cyberspace has to be lessig, code 2. 0, p. 32: media as being an extension of self, idea and hope for an untouchable universe of freedom and without regulation only a little happened. Law: literal laws saying for example; you can not stab someone, enforceable truths. Norms: not enforceable by law officially per-say, not rules, but there are general understandings and agreements that determine interactions and what is acceptable. Architecture: limits by physical space for example pull doors cannot be opened by pushing them, or, the sidewalk on an overpass allows you to walk on it. Markets: you can only buy that which you can afford regulating who is allowed what based on financial merit, for example.
