＂Lawrence Lessig is a James Madison of our time, crafting the
lineaments of a well-tempered cyberspace. This book is a primer of
''running code'' for digital civilization. Like Madison, Lessig is a
model of balance, judgement, ingenuity and persuasive argument.＂ --
Stewart Brand
內容簡介：
The "alarming and impassioned"* book on how the Internet is
redefining constitutional law, now reissued as the first popular
book revised online by its readers *New York Times
There''s a common belief that cyberspace cannot be
regulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from the
government''s or anyone else''s control. Code, first published in
2000, argues that this belief is wrong. It is not in the nature of
cyberspace to be unregulable; cyberspace has no "nature." It only
has code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is.
That code can create a place of freedom-as the original
architecture of the Net did-or a place of oppressive control. Under
the influence of commerce, cyberpsace is becoming a highly
regulable space, where behavior is much more tightly controlled
than in real space. But that''s not inevitable either. We can-we
must-choose what kind of cyberspace we want and what freedoms we
will guarantee. These choices are all about architecture: about
what kind of code will govern cyberspace, and who will control it.
In this realm, code is the most significant form of law, and it is
up to lawyers, policymakers, and especially citizens to decide what
values that code embodies.
Since its original publication, this seminal book has earned
the status of a minor classic. This second edition, or Version 2.0,
has been prepared through the author''s wiki, a web site that allows
readers to edit the text, making this the first reader-edited
revision of a popular book.
