Hence Jim Bell's AP protocol

 The last show to fall

Hence Jim Bell's AP protocol where the financial expression of lots of
small amounts of dissatisfaction can be pooled together to effect
censure.

I'm not convinced that AP would have the desired effect were it to
come to fruition -- governments aren't going to roll-over and accept
it -- it's just going to result in escalation of militarisation of
domestic law enforcement, and an conversion of the country into a
warzone.

For examples perhaps we could look at Italy and mafia wars, or Nothern
Ireland and the local freedom fighters / terrorists where judges are
flown around with military cover.

I think regulatory arbitrage and moving information industries into
cypherspace out of governments reach via anonymous offshore banking
and pseudonymous communications is where we're going to see the
effects of crypto-anarchy start first.  Plus an ever more mobile
workforce willing to vote with their feet over issues they care about.
