• W306792037 abstract "THE FUTURE OF IDEAS: THE FATE OF THE COMMONS IN A CONNECTED WORLD By Lawrence Lessig. Random House, 2001. INTRODUCTION In his most recent book, The Future of Ideas: The Fate of the Commons in a Connected World,1 Stanford University Law Professor Lawrence Lessig presents a pessimistic view of the Internet's future. Lessig argues that commercial actors are increasingly able to control the development of the Internet and that these actors' pursuit of their own interests will inevitably compromise the network's open, innovative structure. Lessig sees this control developing in several ways. He worries about the privatization of spectrum cutting off the ability of innovative wireless communications technologies to develop. He worries that cable companies, which have a prominent position in providing high-speed Internet access to residential customers, are limiting consumers' ability to access certain Internet services and create new services of their own. And he worries that content providers of all kinds, from book publishers to movie companies, are seeking increased legal protections that strain accepted intellectual property theories. For Lessig, the issue is not merely control over the Internet. As the book's title suggests, Lessig sees in the dual developments of physical control over Internet resources and of increased legal protections for intellectual property a threat to society.2 In his words: Fueled by a bias in favor of control, pushed by those whose financial interests favor control, our social and political institutions are ratifying changes in the Internet that will reestablish control and, in turn, reduce innovation on the Internet and in society generally.3 For those interested in a thorough canvas of the current controversies in Internet regulation, Lessig's book is mandatory reading. In the dimension of communications policy, Lessig and Yochai Benkler are the leading legal academics criticizing the current hands-off ' approach to Internet regulation and advocating regulation to maintain an Internet commons.4 On the intellectual property front, Lessig has more company criticizing the manner in which patent and copyright law may be providing content owners too much control,5 but he is one of the leading writers. In The Future of Ideas, Lessig demonstrates the connections between these seemingly separate areas of regulation. As Phil Weiser has argued, the Internet phenomenon has brought into stark relief that communications markets-all communications markets-are controlled through four overlapping areas of law: antitrust, First Amendment, intellectual property, and sector-specific (i.e., federal communications) law.6 While antitrust does not explicitly figure in to The Future of Ideas, Lessig painstakingly draws connections among both the law and theory of these other legal domains. The Future of Ideas is a visionary work of communications policyvisionary in the sense that its agenda is not, principally, about developing specific regulatory proposals but rather about attempting a sort of consciousness-raising. Lessig illuminates what he sees as the unnoticed trend toward increased private control over the Internet space, and he wants to demonstrate that such private control is often unnecessary and bad. The subtitle of the book, The Fate of the Commons in a Connected World, is a reference to the of the commons, the view that private ownership and control of property is necessary to counter the incentives for overuse that come with common, public ownership. Lessig argues both that a tragedy does not always occur (and that tragedy is less likely to occur in Internet space) and, moreover, that private control creates other problems. In particular, controlled systems decrease users' ability to develop innovative uses or new products based on old systems. Although The Future of Ideas allows that private control is sometimes necessary, and sometimes beneficial, it is so deeply suspicious of such control that it urges a default rule against it: [I]n a free society, the burden of justification should fall on him who would defend systems of control. …" @default.
