Abstract:
"What mixture of technology and policy will regulate the Internet enough - but not too much? In this visionary, interdisciplinary approach to Internet governance, five critical conflicts between freedom and control are examined: fair competition and open access, free expression, intellectual property, privacy rights, and security." "With the exception of certain circumstances, self-regulation is not only viable, but is a highly favored alternative to the forced uniformity of centralized control structures. This book examines the emerging body of law and public policy attempting to control the anarchy of cyberspace. Internet self-regulation is defended with the assertion that the same powerful and flexible architectures that created the Internet can aid the private sector in decentralizing its regulation."--Jacket.
