There has been a rich, and sometimes unnecessary, debate about whether indeed cyberspace is a 'place.' I continue to believe the term is useful, and I am confirmed at least partly by Dan Hunter, 'Cyberspace as Place and the Tragedy of the Digital Anti-commons,' California Law Review 91 (2003): 439. Michael Madison adds a valuable point about what the place metaphor misses in Michael J. Madison, 'Rights of Access and the Shape of the Internet,' Boston College Law Review 44 (2003): 433. Lemley too adds an important perspective. See 'Place and Cyberspace,' California Law Review 91 (2003): 521.
