Technique is an human intelligence’s product: scientific and technological development has characterized the culture evolution. Nowadays, however, the technical means are so much increasing that man is loosing control over them. There are many ways interpret the relationship between technology and society: some scholars assume technology is an independent and autonomous force ; other describe it as a factor that defines how we relate to the world we live in. The “neutralists”, on the other hand, believe technology is nothing but a tool and has no bearing on our behavioural freedom as such. The technique could be used for different goals: for the freedom but also for the oppression, for the centralisation of power, as for decentralization. The technique seeks to conceal its power declaring its diversity from political power because of its neutrality and objectivity. In the digital environment, the development of Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems, demonstrates (not only in the copyright area) the power of technology to supplement and even supplant legal regulation. Much as physical barriers and spatial relations constrain behaviour in actual space, technical standards constrain behaviour in cyberspace. In the physical world, people cannot walk through solid walls or occupy two spaces simultaneously. Similarly, there are certain activities that simply cannot be performed on a particular computer system, because the system is not built to accommodate the behaviour – the system may be programmed to deny access without a password, prevent logging on simultaneously from two terminals, or prohibit alteration of a file that is designed “read only”. In cyberspace , however, how Lessig (and other scholars) argued, the prevailing instrument of regulation is not the rule of law, but what he calls architecture: the commands that are embedded in the communication protocols of the Internet and the software application.
