Editing Lawrence Lessig (section)

=== "Code is law" ===
In [[computer science]], "code" typically refers to the text of a computer program (the [[source code]]). In law, "code" may refer to the texts that constitute [[statutory law]]. In his 1999 book entitled ''[[Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace]]'', Lessig explores the ways in which code can be instruments for [[social control]] in both senses, leading to his dictum that "Code is law". Lessig later updated his work in order to keep up with the prevailing views of the time and released the book as ''[[Code: Version 2.0]]'' in December 2006.
