We’re in the Wild West era of the Internet. The frontier. Outlaws drift from town to town and cowboys kill each other over card games. There are gold rushes, bank robberies, shootouts. The law doesn’t exist out here.
Out here, it’s just people. The good, the bad, and the ugly, all of us figuring out this new territory together. We’re exploring it and mapping it. Civilizing it. Fighting, pioneering, and getting rich.
It’s not a pretty place. The hazy opium dens and the tobacco-smoke saloons disappeared from dusty California mining towns long ago, and they’ve since set up shop here. You want opium? You got it. How about Craigslist prostitutes? pirated textbooks? fake I.D.s or stolen credit cards?
