] Cyberspace was once thought to be the modern equivalent
] of the Western Frontier, a place, where land was free for
] the taking, where explorers could roam, and communities
] could form with their own rules. It was an endless
] expanse of space: open, free, replete with possibility.
] This is true no longer. This Article argues that we are
] enclosing cyberspace, and imposing private property
] conceptions upon it. As a result, we are creating a
] digital anti-commons where sub-optimal uses of Internet
] resources is going to be the norm.

Blogging for later reading..
