Re: A Commons(sic) Problem I am not sure it is a problem of the commons. That refers to private overuse of a common resource. Here, we want the common resource (bandwidth) to be used to the maximum extent. It is just a question of "fairness" (whatever that is), and efficiency. You don't want people who never upload to be able to download, but we all are in situations where we have not uploaded to a particular area, and so might never be able to download. We depend on the generosity of others. |
