"His" "rabbit hole" went mainstream since Lessig released his book "code is law" while everyone was partying like it was 1999. Massive amounts of both amateur and academic discourse followed, got picked up by civil society world wide, all with their own take. Think pirate parties, NGOs like EFF, the Free software movement, and so on. Yet here we are today, a ever growing need for these questions and a equally rising unlikeliness for universally workable answers. I for one don't care much about open source if i can't have a free and informed vote for a legislator.
