Internet Gvernance is mainly based on legislations and government’s enforcements.
Cyberspace Self-government is mainly based on the customary rules of cyber society, usage of trade and course of dealing.
Custom is differ from customary rule since the latter is more common and sometimes can be directly enforced by government, court and/or other public organizations.
What kind of of custom can be evolved as customary rule? What kind of customary rule can survive the rapidly developing cyber space and embed the established legal system?
Someone said that “The law cannot make all men equal, but they are all equal before the law.”
Another said that “Law is the crystallizaton of the habit and thought of society.”
The society and habit are not reasonable at every events. For instance, when people were talking about “domain name’s essence”, some articles and/or legislations are so arbitrary that can be regarded as irregular murmur. Another example is that the hastily legislating of digital signature. The latest case is the fever on “virtual property”.
“The law is reason free from passion.” That is the law in heaven, but not the law on earth.
-So what?
Just wait.
