john commented on the word cornucopia of the commons
Dan Bricklin's riff on Garrett Hardin's Tragedy of the Commons. In Hardin's version, overuse of a shared resource destroys it. In Bricklin's reformulation, user brings "overflowing abundance." He gives Napster as an example: the more people used it, the better it became.
