ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests the shift in regulation requires a clear quantum conception of 'information justice' akin to 'economic justice.' It assesses empirical research information regulation, with reference to the concepts of 'stock' and 'flow'. The chapter discusses how and why new UK and EU approaches have a different impact upon 'stocks' and 'flows'. It provides a requirement of 'information justice' for the Information State, derived from the empirical research and based around the notions of the quantum state of 'stock' and 'flow.' Information about the use of copyright works is increasingly becoming a form of valuable commodity which will usurp traditional forms of economic exchange such as money. The nature of information as both stock and flow challenges many traditionally held, fundamental beliefs, concerning the foundation stones of society. Information has always been important to the development of the State; indeed, it has been central to the formation of the State.
