Well, scratch me deeply enough, I'm not sure I'd disagree with Tim, "philosophically speaking." The problem is, as all the truly wise philosophers recognized, we must live in the world. And given the number of us who must do so, that entails rules.
That's what so nice about the nets. You don't (won't) have to "live in the world" any more. The creation of consentual halucinations (virtual worlds) allows you to "change the world" at will. And once the interface improves... Actually, the creation of separate "spaces" that can only be entered with your (each person's) permission will have a big impact on life in the real world.
