Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
- Introduction: The text introduces the concept of internet regulation and outlines three main schools of thought: Cyber-libertarianism, Cyber-paternalism, and Network Communitarianism. It then focuses on Lessig's "code" model (Cyber-paternalism) and Murray's symbiotic regulation model (Network Communitarianism).
- Cyber-paternalism: This section discusses Lessig's "code" model, emphasizing the idea that code shapes the environment and facilitates control. Lessig argues that code is the primary regulator in cyberspace, influencing market decisions, legal enforcement, and user behavior.
