Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace

Book • 1999
In 'Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace', Lawrence Lessig argues that computer code plays a significant role in regulating behavior online, similar to legal codes.

He discusses four major regulators—law, norms, market, and architecture—and their impact on society.

The book also examines the implications for copyright law, suggesting that code can alter the balance in copyright protection by enabling comprehensive licensing of digital content.
