In the chapter “Mere Copyists” in Free Culture, Lawrence Lessig defines democracy as the rule by the people and more specifically the ability for ordinary citizens to deliberate on public affairs. Lessig mentions three arenas in which such citizen deliberation occurs: in education (Just Think), on blogs, and through the internet (free software or open-source software). Choose one and explain how it is an example of exercise of democracy. Use specific examples from the book to illustrate your point.
