Lawrence Lessig Awaits "Internet 9/11", Predicts Subsequent Internet Censorship


"Lawrence Lessig, a respected Law Professor from Stanford University told an audience at this years Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference in Half Moon Bay, California, that 'There’s going to be an i-9/11 event' which will act as a catalyst for a radical reworking of the law pertaining to the internet.
Lessig also revealed that he had learned, during a dinner with former government Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke, that there is already in existence a cyber equivalent of the Patriot Act, an 'i-Patriot Act' if you will, and that the Justice Department is waiting for a cyber terrorism event in order to implement its provisions."
