The fourth section looks at specific experimental governance structures evolved by online communities. The third section shows how the growth of e-commerce is raising questions of legal jurisdiction and taxation for which the geographic boundaries of nation-states are obsolete. How many books are obtained illegally can differ quite a bit. The second section asks how widespread access to resources such as Pretty Good Privacy and anonymous remailers allows the possibility of "Crypto Anarchy"-essentially carving out space for activities that lie outside the purview of nation states and other traditional powers. This relatively high percentage doesn’t mean that students are oblivious to the law 70 admit to knowing that piracy is illegal. The first section considers the sovereignty of the Internet. Indeed, utopian visions are not out of place, provided that we understand the new utopias to be fleeting localized "islands in the Net" and not permanent institutions. While many online experiments will fail, Ludlow argues that given the synergy of the online world, new and superior governance structures may emerge. Ludlow views virtual communities as laboratories for conducting experiments in the construction of new societies and governance structures. This time the subject is the emergence of governance structures within online communities and the visions of political sovereignty shaping some of those communities.
In Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias, Peter Ludlow extends the approach he used so successfully in High Noon on the Electronic Frontier, offering a collection of writings that reflects the eclectic nature of the online world, as well as its tremendous energy and creativity.

Arcadia (utopia) Arcadia ( Greek: ) refers to a vision of pastoralism and harmony with nature. I really liked one bit of dialogue from Secondari, when he says, “I don’t have to believe any more, because it’s the truth!” I’ve often thought that when someone says they believe in a thing, that can be a sign that they don’t think it’s actually true (or at least isn’t true yet), whether they realise that or not. Eventually Harry Houdini shows up, a secret ambassador from the United States, accompanied by Robert Howard and a surprisingly chipper H.P. As a result of his successes, Secondari rises to become “Minister of Vengeance Weapons”, the original title of Pirate Engineer being rejected as not quite right.
