Dibbell / Lessig | 2 Units |
What rules actually regulate communities with cyberspace? Are they rules or technology? What mix between prescriptions and norms is there? This seminar will explore a wide range of "virtual communities," to investigate these issues. Julian Dibbell is a writer and one of the first to describe life and law in virtual worlds. His work is the reason Professor Lessig began work in the law of cyberspace. |
