  • Siren Songs and Amish Children: Autonomy, Information, and Law
    \\Server03\productn\N\NYU\76-1\NYU101.txt unknown Seq: 1 13-MAR-01 12:50 ARTICLES SIREN SONGS AND AMISH CHILDREN: AUTONOMY, INFORMATION, AND LAW YOCHAI BENKLER* New communications technologies offer the potential to be used to promote funda- mental values such as autonomy and democratic discourse, but, as Professor Yochai Benkler discusses in this Article, recent government actions have disfavored these possibilities by stressing private rights in information. He recommends that laws regulating the information economy be evaluated in terms of two effects: whether they empower one group to control the information environment of an- other group, and whether they reduce the diversity of perspectives communicated. Professor Benkler criticizes the nearly exclusive focus of information policy on property and commercial rights, which results in a concentrated system of produc- tion and homogenous information products. He suggests alternative policies that promote a commons in information, which would distribute information produc- tion more widely and permit a greater diversity of communications.

Beneath The Invisibility Cloak: Myth And The Modern World View In J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling, best selling author of the Harry Potter series, uses mythology to add layers of meaning to her own creative storylines, to provide insight into the characters and plot, and to subtly foreshadow events to come. Rowling reinvents the old myths referred to in her text by creating surprise twists that are a reversal of the reader’s expectations. Ultimately, Rowling’s reworking of established mythology reveals the author’s own modern perspective about what makes a hero, the power of choice, and the nature of evil.
