Ideas

• "the dangers of perfect enforcement" (see p. 110-111)

Excerpt

• "Generativity’s benefits can be grouped more formally as at least two distinct goods, one deriving from unanticipated change, and the other from inclusion of large and varied audiences." (p. 80)
• "It is with disruptive innovations that the market leaders will lag behind." (p. 83)
• "The divide is not between technology and nontechnology, but between hierarchy and polyarchy." (p. 93)
• "recursive generativity" (p.94)
• "Generative technologies need not produce forward progress, if by progress one means something like increasing social welfare. Rather, they foment change. (...) The harm from disruption might differ by field." (p. 96-97)
• "A shift to tethered appliances also entails a sea change in the regulability of the Internet. With tethered appliances, the dangers of excess come not from rogue third-party code, but from the much more predictable interventions by regulators into the devices themselves, and in turn into the ways that people can use the appliances." (p. 103)
• "Tethered appliances belong to a new class of technology. They are appliances in that they are easy to use, while not easy to tinker with. They are tethered because it is easy for their vendors to change them from afar, long after the devices have left warehouses and showrooms." (p. 106)
• "If producers can alter their products long after the products have been bought and installed in homes and offices, it occasions a sea change in the regulability of those products and their users." (p. 107)
• "

One can also argue against stronger enforcement regimes by objecting to the laws that will be enforced. For example, many of those who argue against increased copyright enforcement—undertaken through laws that broaden infringement penalties or through trusted systems that preempt infringement — argue that copyright law itself is too expansive." (p. 111)
