The original title, "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace," is more compelling. Also, note that this is from 1996.

Note the title used here is from a tweet by John Perry Barlow yesterday:

"The first serious infowar is now engaged. The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops."

Given JPB's personal history and the climate of censorship at Harvard, I'm wondering if there will be any fallout from that tweet.

Given JPB's record of saying what he wants when he wants and rarely seeing any fallout, I am guessing that the answer is "no".

So, two links near the top of HN are from 1996? Is December Internet History Month?

Or internet discovery month, for those that did not travel this part of the internet during those times. The age of an article does not necessarily negate its worthiness of being read or spoken about.

Sure, I just thought it was a funny coincidence.
