This quiz is taken from the review of Lessig's Code. Note particularly the section on "How Anarchy Works." Then review the "Hostile TakeOver of Hampton Hampster." Then think about how that hostile takeover was accomplished.

Answer the following questions based on these readings. Then click on any of the question numbers for a set of plausible answers.

1. Why do we speak of the Hampster Dance takeover as hidden control? Would you have even known about the takeover if you did not have this special knowledge?

2. Why did we provide this as an example of the kind of victimization that goes with today's electronic world?
