“They’re like the Society Matron who walks into the dining hall in a Three Stooges short and demands ‘What is the meaning of this?!!’ To them the Internet is just a big Series of Tubes, and all they have to do is shut off a valve somewhere to control the flow of information. Only the Internet doesn’t work that way. In John Gilmore’s phrasing, it treats censorship as damage and routes around it. Their legal rationale — export control legislation — displays the same conceptual failure. They couldn’t quite grasp that the ‘goods’ that DEFCAD was ‘exporting’ arrived in their destination ports around the world the second the files were uploaded to the website.”
