摘要:One may initially think that the development of legal boundaries in the binary world of electronic computing should be easy. One may envision a certain set of zeros and ones falling on the side of legality and a complementary set falling on the side of illegality. But such a vision is flawed. Although the microelectronic world of"cyberspace" 1 is premised on boundaries that are black and white, laws do not develop along such boundaries. Laws govern people, not places. 2 Moreover, laws are created by people, not algorithms. The mere fact that people act in cyberspaee does not make their actions less human, nor does it shield actors from responsibility for their actions.
