What about E = mc^2 ?
This is a law, and no police or military is needed to enforce it.

In society, there are a lot of rules (one could say laws), which make
living together possible and which are maintained rather by a social
consense than enforced by central authorities. I think, anarchism
favourizes laws based on agreement and consense over laws based on
protection by corruptable powers.

In particular, this network depends on the the people following the 
net.etiquette which is not and should not be enforced as a net.law.
