Document Summary
Lawrence lessig states that laws are regulated by: Being regulated by things other than laws. Analog: analogous mechanical or chemical means that produces an analogist copy of something. A camera trying to mimic the light of the environment it was pointed at. Only the owner would have the real exact copy. Architecture: copies were not as good (vcrs would be static and low quality) Laws: because there was no internet, it was easy to apply laws. Markets: had monopoly over the market as there was no one to compete with. Norms: there was no choice but to purchase the things they wanted. Digital copies: the ability for anyone to produce perfect copies. A series of computer generated measured recordings. We have the ability as an individual to connect to the internet and share and distribute perfect copies from one device to the other. Can be distributed by anyone who has access to the internet.
