Tragedy of the E-Commons?

The colonizing effects of capitalism combined with the transparence of media society taken in contrast with the conflict of capital with any percieved threat to its cycle of production leads us to question whether the Internet is experiencing a cyber-"Tragedy of the Commons". In Hardin's essay[30], the reader is presented with an allegory of a shepherd and a flock of ten sheep on a plot of land that allows sustainable maintenance of the stock. However, another herder, upon seeing the prosperity of his neighbor, wishes to secure his own stock, adds his own lamb to the pasture. In return, due to the fact that the original flock of ten has now lessened its productivity due to the shortage of resources, actions are taken to add more sheep in order to make up for losses introduced by the second herder's addition. The process continues, until the resources are destroyed and the end result is an entirely unsuitable environment for production of any kind.
