Protecting the Internet Without Wrecking It
How to meet the security threat
Jonathan Zittrain
http://bostonreview.net/BR33.2/zittrain.php

"Generative systems are powerful—- they enable extraordinary numbers
of people to devise new ways to express themselves in speech, art, or
code, perhaps because they lack central coordination and control."

"The flexibility and power that make generative systems so attractive
are, however, not without risks. Such systems are built on the notion
that they are never fully complete, that they have many uses yet to be
conceived of, and that the public can be trusted to invent good uses
and share them. Multiplying breaches of that trust can threaten the
very foundations of the system."
