Lawrence Lessig has updated his 1999 work entitled Code. The topic is law in the age of the internet, and how they affect each other. Mr. Lessig is a forerunner in the groves of academe regarding law and information technology. The recently updated version, Code 2.0, is available for purchase from its site, or for free download:

I have paced my way through the text and found it both easy to read and informative. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the internet - which should be everyone, even if they are 'off the grid'

Inception
If one unit of resource brings you one unit of pleasure, one unit of resource brings the utility monster 100 units of pleasure.
If the utility monster can get so much pleasure from each unit of resources, It follows from utilitarianism, that the distribution of resources should acknowledge this. If the utility monster existed, it would justify the mistreatment and perhaps annihilation of everyone else.
