Article Abstract:
The metaphor of cyberspace as a "place" is leading to the extension of property rights to the Internet, with negative consequences. The metaphor is a weak one, and should not necessarily govern the making of Internet law. Even if the metaphor is accepted, it need not result in the dividing of cyberspace into property interests.
