und hat Anwendungen auf die Debatte über die Büssowschen
Sperrverfügungen wie auf DRM.
This leads to the final area I want to think about;
technology vs. magic at a policy level. In this realm,
magical thinking is more dangerous because it is harder to
overcome from a single side. You cannot hope to untangle the
issues around file-sharing networks or DMCA, for example,
unless everyone deals with technology as technology and not
magic. [...] For those who choose to view technology as
magic in these debates, pushback from those who view
technology as technology (or engineering, I suppose)
probably come across as petulant. When we say "I can't",
they hear "I won't." While that might be a reasonable
inference when dealing with adolescent children, it isn't
very helpful in a policy debate.
