The hacker news title is extremely misleading. I almost typed some off hand comment about Lessig's Code book and how I couldn't finish it because of such ideas. This article was good though.
Such ideas like coding the law. I admit it's been a while and I never finished reading it. After having read his Free Culture book, I mean, I was so for his ideas in Free Culture, and then it was the complete opposite with Code v2. I couldn't stomach it, so I passed.
I remember ideas that would essentially be turning the internet into a fascist regime where you would have to show your credentials at every stop or be refused access to the web.
