An English liberal mandarin defined 'negative' freedom as: '...the area within which the subject - a person or group of persons - is or should be left to do or be what he [or she] is able to do or be, without interference by other persons...' Isaiah Berlin, 'Two Concepts of Liberty' in Four Essays on Liberty, Oxford University Press, pages 121-2.

See Christopher May, A Global Political Economy of Intellectual Property Rights.

This analogy with the repressive 'war on drugs' is made in Richard Stallman, 'Freedom - or Copyright?'.

For instance, see the Motion Picture Association of America, 'DVD-DeCSS Press Room'; and the Secure Digital Music Initiative.

See Howard Rheingold, The Virtual Community, Secker & Warburg, pages 289-296. The dystopian vision of the Net is inspired by the symbol of oppressive modernity in Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish.

In contrast with its 'negative' predecessor, 'positive' freedom is defined as: 'I wish to be... a doer - deciding, not being decided for, self-directed and not acted upon... by other men as if I was... a slave incapable of... conceiving goals and policies of my own and realising them.' Isaiah Berlin, 'Two Concepts of Liberty' in Four Essays on Liberty, Oxford University Press, pages 131.

See Richard Barbrook, Media Freedom, Pluto, pages 55-73.

Among early users of computer-mediated communications, such spontaneous self-regulation was dubbed 'netiquette', see Michael Hauben and Ronda Hauben, Netizens, IEEE Computer Society Press, pages 63-4.
