Code And Other Laws Of Cyberspace

In line with the guidelines for this project -- which are to update the book not rewrite it -- some obvious goals suggest themselves:

• Identify the issues discussed in the chapter that have evolved in the six years or so since the book was written
• Update the book's discussion of those issues as needed

However, to make the work of revising the book more than an exercise in graduate research, I'd like to try a couple of things (and remain open to other suggestions):

• Identify the key terms in the chapter's argument and explain them and cross-reference (hyperlink) them to the rest of the book; in particular, focus on the "code is law" argument
• Outline the central points in the chapter's argument and comment briefly upon how the events of the past six years have reinforced or weakened them

And my personal goals with regard both to this chapter and the Preface:

• To revisit the distinctions Lessig draws between his view of cyberspace and my own and Vernor Vinge's -- doing this could create a conversational Chapter 1, which perhaps would be its own document separate from Code v.2

Handbook of International Law

Anthony Aust "Handbook of International Law"
Cambridge University Press (November 28, 2005)
ISBN: 0521530342 | 554 pages | PDF | 1,9 Mb


Book Description :

A concise account of international law by an experienced practitioner, this book explains how states and international organisations, especially the United Nations, make and use international law.

The nature of international law and its fundamental concepts and principles are described, and the differences and relationships between various areas of international law which are often misunderstood (such as diplomatic and state immunity, and human rights and international humanitarian law) are clearly explained.

Also discussed is the essence of new specialist areas of international law, relating to the environment, human rights and terrorism.

Review :

"The purpose of the book is to explain international law principles and rules in a clear and concise way. This purpose is admirably fulfilled with a handy, attractive and well-organized volume that is reasonably priced....The text is beautifully written, concise and interesting without being heavy or laden with legal jargon." --American Reference Books Annual

"This concise volume makes the subject accessible, while retaining substance. It is an easy read even for non-law students and non-lawyers. The handbook contains a relatively sizable index, making topics easy to locate. Also included are a helpful table of treaties, a tale of cases and a glossary of legal terms, as well as a brief list of abbreviations for the hundreds of acronyms used in the area." -- Choice

In this remarkable book, the first of its kind, MacLean draws on his own experience as well as a unique survey of 300 burglars that he conducted in prison. Describing burglary as a "mind game," he tells you what burglars look for and what scares them off. Analyzing the techniques of amateurs as well as pros like himself, he describes the ideal "burglar-proof" home, evaluates current hardware and techniques, and suggests psychological deterrents that work better than any devices. This fascinating look at home security from the "other side" is essential for any homeowner who is serious about preventing burglaries.
