The Tragedy of the Commons is a term used most often in economics, but can be applied to many more situations such as internet bandwidth/content, overfishing, and environmental sustainability in general.
This podcast will let you see what this term means and how it relates more and more to the internet and possible government control of content. Of course this is all in less than 90 seconds.
