Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The author concludes that the common law of trespass should be extended to apply to property violations in cyberspace. As support, the author cites the fact that many words that describe the internet are also associated with real estate, and the common law of trespass usually applies to real estate property encroachments.

Identify and Describe Flaw

The argument operates by using an analogy between two things that are not similar enough. The only similarity between real estate and the internet that the author provides is the fact that some words are used in both contexts (like “site” and “visiting.”) This similarity is not enough to justify that laws that are designed for real estate should be applied to the internet.
