Out front my computer knowledge is pathetic but, I have been enjoying articles like this as they are showing what is often referred to as the tragedy of the commons. This practice of companies using extractive practices on systems and destroying them is often used, ironically, as a reason why community management is bad. We are seeing right now the plundering and destruction of public held assets in a new way and hopefully we will see these open source items protected and not privatized as land borders oceans and most other things have been to the detriment of the many.
