The following two explanatory paragraphs are from the attendant notes on Youtube, relevant to this superb video:
"Whether you have a background in technology, law, academia, or national security, this talk is a beginner’s guide to understanding the law of war in cyberspace. By juxtaposing the law of war with a keyboard, the process of how states evaluate the scale and effects of a cyber operation and determine a basis for resorting to a use of force under the Law of Armed Conflict can be more readily conceptualized. For if music is indeed the universal language of mankind then by encouraging society to learn about this area, we can collectively better strategize ways to mitigate cyber conflict."
