So far, at least, the Internet has developed far too rapidly for any mere book to keep up. We can hardly expect more of a document limited to paper and ink. As it is, however, his publisher employs the Internet solely to offer potential customers a sample chapter of the book. A superhighway changes no more quickly than government construction projects will allow. Once built, it limits traffic to particular, officially-sanctioned routes.
Police patrols keep the superhighway tightly regulated.
Among other things, they seek out and arrest unlicensed drivers. To put it mildly, the Internet lacks these attributes. Maritime lawyers in particular should appreciate this metaphor. Like the ocean, the Internet conceals both great beauty and terrible danger. While portions of this information ocean fall within the jurisdiction and control of particular States, much of its broad expanse remains wild and free.
