摘要

问题是“我们能控制什么?”是信息社会和知识经济的基础，是信息技术成熟的标志。最重要的是，它标志着一个从以原子衡量经济价值的世界向以比特衡量信息价值的世界的转变。本章探讨了这种转变和比特在信息社会中的作用。它首先概述了比特及其在数字化过程中的地位。然后，本章探讨了数字音乐和其他数字产品(如数字视频和电子书)的出现。在讨论信息社会的法律挑战之前，它还考虑了从竞争性商品到非竞争性商品的转变。

1. The world of bits

The question ‘what can we control?’ underpins both the information society and the knowledge economy, and represents the maturity of information technology. Most importantly, it signals a transition from a world that saw economic value in terms of atoms to a world which values information in bits. This chapter examines this transition and the role of bits in the information society. It first provides an overview of bits and their place in the digitization process. The chapter then looks at the advent of digital music and other digital goods such as digital video and electronic books. It also considers the shift from rivalrous goods to nonrivalrous goods before concluding with a discussion of the legal challenge of the information society.

期刊介绍： The last decade has seen the introduction of computers and information technology at many levels of human transaction. Information technology (IT) is now used for data collation, in daily commercial transactions like transfer of funds, conclusion of contract, and complex diagnostic purposes in fields such as law, medicine and transport. The use of IT has expanded rapidly with the introduction of multimedia and the Internet. Any new technology inevitably raises a number of questions ranging from the legal to the ethical and the social. Information & Communications Technology Law covers topics such as: the implications of IT for legal processes and legal decision-making and related ethical and social issues.
