Lessig Predicts Cyber 9/11 Event, Restrictive Laws->

Submitted by Nick Dixon
Nick Dixon writes "Paraphrasing from the article: Lawrence Lessig told an audience at this years Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference that "There's going to be an i-9/11 event" which will act as a catalyst for a radical reworking of the law pertaining to the internet.

Lessig also revealed that he had learned, during a dinner with former government Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke, that there is already in existence a cyber equivalent of the Patriot Act, an "i-Patriot Act" if you will, and that the Justice Department is waiting for a cyber terrorism event in order to implement its provisions."
