The Laws of Disruption, written by Larry Downes, a partner with the Bell-Mason Group, is an 12-chapter book published by Basic Books/Perseus Books Group. Composed of four sections, the book explores a simple but unavoidable principle of modern life: though technology changes exponentially, social, economic, and legal systems change incrementally. This disparity in change, Downes argues, will inevitably instigate conflicts between systems rooted in the past and the current and future generations who are dramatically rewriting the rules of both business and social interaction. Downes suggests nine emerging principles that are shaping a new legal code - the laws of disruption - that will close the gap between institutions of the past and those of the future. Chapter 11 discusses the ninth and final law of disruption: software. Different software models are explained, and the open source business model is explored at length. The author traces the movement of software from physical media to web-based usage, or "Software as a Service" (SaaS), and discusses the implications of this shift.

Downes suggests nine emerging principles that are shaping a new legal code - the laws of disruption - that will close the gap between institutions of the past and those of the future. In the twelfth and final chapter, the author states, "Our new laws won't look much like the old ones. Treaties, statutes, regulations, and judicial opinions are giving way to more organic forms. The Declaration of Independence of digital life has already been written. Its Constitution, made up of wikis, terms of service agreements, privacy policies, and software code itself, is now being drafted." In his view, lawmakers have disappointed us, while regulatory agencies have behaved even worse. He offers a possible source of hope, the old-fashioned virtue of understanding your customers: "As businesses shift the focus of their attention from wooing regulators to engaging customers, innovators will find they have a lot to learn about working with the latter as equal partners."

Chapter 1 introduces the Law of Disruption and its key drivers, Moore's Law and Metcalfe's Law. Downes argues that these laws help to reveal the foundation for a new human existence - the digital life. The escalating conflict between business leaders, governments, and consumers over intellectual property and information is also discussed.

Chapter 3 introduces the first of the nine laws of disruption: convergence. As wireless access and cheap mobile computing become ubiquitous, the world of the physical and the world of the digital are merging. On the border, difficult problems of law appear. Where do our digital activities take place? What law applies? Are judges, legislators, and law enforcement officers competent to enforce behavioral standards on our world? The author contends that the best and most effective code for the intersection of industrial and information economies is a market-based solution, not a governmental imposition of antiquated rules.

Chapter 5 discusses the third of the nine laws of disruption: human rights. The author argues that individual rights in digital life eroded badly during the war on terror of the early 2000's, and that "the only protection most of us are left with is the sheer volume of information and the lack of funding for governments to sift through all of it." He goes on to propose the establishment of several principles of digital civil liberties, and then the writing of software to enforce them.

Chapter 7 introduces the fifth of the nine laws of disruption. Globalization has been turbocharged by the Internet. But merchants and consumers are learning to their peril that the easier it is to interact across borders, the more likely it is that provincial and often pointless local laws will rear up to interfere with trade. Sometimes, conflicting laws and uneven enforcement can come close to forcing a hard stop. The author argues that we need a single uniform law of digital commerce - and further, that the building blocks for writing one are in place.

He advocates the development of a new, more limited patent that would protect inventors without stifling competition.
