[Cyber-]Common Law

During the weekend I got through most of Lawrence Lessig's Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace. The text is out-dated, naive, a fossil—but still somehow stimulating/thought-provoking. The subject of encription and trusted systems is pretty interesting. I still need to develop a more informed opinion on the risks and benefits of publishing intellectual property in digital form. Lessig brings up his token idea of the commons—Creative Commons. Still, I'm just not convinced by the arguments of a simple code-based architecture structuring the passage through the net. Many project ideas are coming out of reading the book, though, so look forward to more on this.

UPDATE: Link - maybe the book isn't so obsolete.
