Document Summary
A system that crosses many global boundaries. Gives the idea that the internet is beyond the law. People can obtain information whenever and however they like. There is the ability to upload and download content without any limit. People feel that they can view anything that they want online. People believe that the internet is too large to be controlled, and that it controls people as opposed to people controlling the internet. There is no tangible space which the internet occupies, and so people don t think of it as a controllable technology. There is a feeling of anonymity with internet usage. People can be whoever they want on the internet. People lie frequently about who they are on the internet. Although it may take some time for the law to catch up, even people who think that they are acting anonymously on the internet, the law still applies.
