  • Abstract
    Arguably, the most profound issue in designing and governing cyberspace focuses on intellectual property. Is cyberspace to be created as a common space - belonging to and used freely by the community as a whole - or is it to be partitioned into a multitude of proprietary closed boxes that are owned and sold, distributed, modified and used only according to the owner´s whims? This paper discusses answers to this question.
