Information ethics
to be the reflection on beliefs, rules and norms/values
(in total: moral behavior) which continuously
develop/change in electronic environments
cannot be derived from whatever law of nature, from
however grounded metaphysics, let alone from religion
or politicians (party leaders, government)

Conclusion
Global common goods are personal and social rights
Neither law nor technology nor markets can count on acceptance in the long run when they are inconsistent or even contrary to the moral behavior of the people who are affected by the consequences of the three (above mentioned) regulatory instances.
It is within civil society and in changing environments where moral behavior develops.
A strong system of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is the best means for securing and strengthening global common goods as personal and social rights.
